This group exhibition features 35 distinguished contemporary artists born in the 1980s who live and work in China. As the first generation growing up during China’s rapid economic growth, the “Post-80s Generation” is also shaped by dreams and realities of globalization.
The exhibition “Pictures of the Post-80s Generation — Generational Leap” speaks directly to the urgent concerns of the present. On one hand, it reflects the resonance between contemporary Chinese society and the changing global scene. On the other, beneath its intricate layers of narrative, it invites us to look closer — to engage with the tensions of our time and rekindle the courage to imagine the future.
