CHAxARTxRTM

Rotterdam
Emerging PROGRAM

Founded by the new generation of Chinese immigrants, CHAxART operates as both a gallery and an intercultural playground, placing a specific emphasis on emerging overseas Chinese artists. Simultaneously, it actively engages in collaborations with local European artists, fostering cross-cultural artistic creations.
CHAxART reinvents the process of bonding and integration through the lens of art, craft, and design, building and sustaining a cross-cultural community. The space commits to coordinate a discourse that embraces common ground while acknowledging disparities by rooting itself in the all-important space in-between.

CHAxART Gallery will showcase the works of three artists born in the 1990s who live and work in the Netherlands at SWAB Art Fair 2024. These artists come from diverse countries and regions, each using painting in their unique way to express and convey their experiences and memories as “outsiders” facing diaspora or nostalgia. Their personal journeys serve as both a wellspring of possibilities and a refuge of courage.
