Chris Zhongtian Yuan. Childhood Scenes

25 January – 1 March, 2025

Curated by Claire Shiying Li

Theatre of San Luca, viale Trento e Trieste, 1, 26100 Cremona, Italy

Wuhan, where artist Chris Zhongtian Yuan grew up as a child, nourishes one of most interesting urban subcultural scenes in China. These dissonant voices rise from artists community, grassroots organizations, and the marginalized youths who find themselves completely lost in the urban machines after their college graduation.
