Post Content: Led by Luxun Academy of Fine Arts in collaboration with the Sino-Canada Alliance of Art and Culture, this exhibition will create cultural ties between China, Canada and Australia. Showcasing student artwork from all three countries, an online format will support international sharing of cultures and create conversations across national borders. The exhibition will be promoted through domestic WeChat public accounts, video accounts, Douyin, Xiaohongshu and other social platforms and websites in China, Canada, and Australia so that visitors from all participating countries can watch the exhibition online.
Since this exhibition will take place online via WeChat and website platforms, the call is seeking works that would be well represented as still images or short videos. Canadian curator Melanie Wilmink (melanie.wilmink@gmail.com) can respond to any questions.
