Sophia Cai’s curatorial premise is that diverse and multi-generational practices challenge a static definition of Chinese identity today. Artists Kevin Chin, Pei Pei He, Pia Johnson, Owen Leong, Lindy Lee, Eugenia Lim, Chun-yu Liu (Taiwan/UK), Jason Phu, Cyrus Tang, Guan Wei, Shen Wei (China/USA) and Louise Zhang have all worked, studied or lived outside of China but in their artistic endeavours continue to forge connections with the country and the diaspora as it applies to their personal lives and sense of history.
