DASHILAR

2018
I: project space, Beijing, China
​Collaborators: Zhangbolong Liu and Micro Yuan'er
​​Financial support: The Danish Arts Foundation
​
Dashilar
 is a project investigating urban childhood and how children experience public environments. It is made in collaboration with artist Zhangbolong Liu and Micro Yuan’er, a children’s library and art space powered by ZAO/standardarchitecture, a non-profit architecture team who explores micro-urbanism. Micro Yuan’er is located in Dashilar, a historical neighbourhood south of The Forbidden City, heavily affected by gentrification.

​For the project we invited the children of the neighbourhood to jointly explore the urban spaces of Dashilar. 
​The outcome of the process is a 19 minutes one-channel video, where the children themselves lead the viewer through the streets, while interacting with each other. The video was first time presented at the exhibition Response at I:project space, Beijing, in May 2018.
