Overview
The 8th exhibition was held in the spring for the first time in Triennale’s history. The exhibition, spearheaded by the Beijing-based Liu Ding and Carol Yinghua Lu as artistic directors, referred to Wild Grass written by Chinese novelist Lu Xun and published in 1927, as its starting point. In the post-COVID world where we face war, climate change, economic disparity, intolerance, and other challenges, the exhibition explored how creative thoughts could offer hints for survival in the face of despair. It also focused on ordinary people’s agency as the important force to change the world. While the exhibition was held mainly at the newly reopened Yokohama Museum of Art, “ManyManyArt!,” a partnership program with the local art community, took place in a larger area that stretched along the waterside of Yokohama Port.
