The Associates
All of us, Chinese and non-Chinese, have pursued our training in China, therefore our education has not been affected by a recurring phenomenon in this field among non-Chinese learners, that is the filtering of notions through terms and concepts of Western inspiration.
In addition to being tailored to our personal visions and ideas, our contribution is also aimed to giving voice to artists, academics and any experts in this field who operate in the Chinese academic and artistic panorama and who hardly leave their national borders: at first glance one might think that this happens because of the language barrier, but beneath this trivial reason lies the uncomfortable truth that the Chinese and Western cultural spheres are rarely in real contact.
