Detail: A groundbreaking exhibition coming in April, exploring the rich art history of Paris through the eyes of Asian artists. City of Others: Asian Artists in Paris, 1920s-1940s is the first major comparative exhibition on Asian artists in Paris during the dynamic interwar period between the 1920s and 1940s. Discover how artists like Foujita Tsuguharu, Georgette Chen, Lê Phô and Liu Kang contributed to the global art narrative alongside luminaries such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and Ernest Hemingway while grappling with their own cultural identities and perceptions of being an ‘other’. Through their stories, the exhibition prompts reflection on themes of identity, belonging, cultural exchange, creativity, and resilience – offering insights that continue to resonate with today’s contemporary conversations.
