Tai Kwun Contemporary presents Stay Connected: Supplying the Globe, the second chapter of Stay Connected: Art and China Since 2008. More than 70 artworks from over 40 participating artists re-examine China’s role as the world’s centre for the production and logistics that sustain modern life. They give insights into the individual stories, family histories, and lesser-seen places impacted by globalisation and by China’s unprecedented economic growth in recent decades. 

The artworks in Supplying the Globe are presented in four thematic sections that highlight subjects including ecological footprints, depictions of labour (including artistic work), networks of exchange, and the global realignments brought by the transnational flows of people, materials, and ideas. 

Throughout the exhibition period, Tai Kwun Contemporary will hold cross-disciplinary activities, including a symposium, curatorial talks, and the launch of a companion publication produced in collaboration with Asia Art Archive.
