The Nanjing International Art Festival (NJIAF)

The annual exhibition was inaugurated on Saturday 12 November in Nanjing, China, co-curated by Letizia Ragaglia.

The Nanjing International Art Festival features over 300 artists from 39 nationalities exploring the festival theme “HISTORICODE: Scarcity and Supply”. Museion is present with 25 works from its collection, while the director Letizia Ragaglia has joined the curator Lu Peng in the role of co-curator of the festival.

“The works on display offer new perspectives and readings of recent history and underline how being contemporary is characterized by a stratification of different and specific cultural and social traditions. As a contemporary art museum we experience every day a diverse and polycentric world, and not a global unity. This is becoming increasingly clear compared to the Eurocentric and Western perspective and emerges clearly in the Nanjing exhibition” – so Letizia Ragaglia.

Great satisfaction for Francesco Arena and Rä di Martino, who are among the thirty artists awarded at the NJIAF.
The exhibition will remain open until 12 February 2017.
