Yiban Yiban – Yellah Fellah 《一半，一半：黄色人种》

This exciting cultural exchange program included a series of workshops, seminars and exhibitions held at Redtory Art & Design Factory Guangzhou, TCG Nordica Kunming and Organhaus Chongqing, China

The tour group, comprising Australian contemporary artists who are exploring their mixed Indigenous and Chinese heritage, shared their unique stories with a diverse range of Chinese audiences including students, artists, government officials and party members

In Kunming the artists worked closely with local contemporary artists from the Miao, Bai, Naxi, Yi and Akha nationalities during two days of talks hosted by Luo Fei and his staff at TCG Nordica

This project is part of Cultural Partnerships Australia’s ongoing Australia China Curatorial Exchange Program which was established in 2011.
