Agree. This is a sad condition. The most famous graffiti artist is Dali Zhang I guess and others are not known by the public…hope this will change in the future | Anonymous Graffiti in China: a New Form of Demotivational Culture? |
Yes I think the pandemic has made some existed negative sentiments towards power, social structure, etc uncovered (or amplified). It also adds to new anxiety, and social media help circulate them | Anonymous Graffiti in China: a New Form of Demotivational Culture? |
Haha that’s interesting. There are also graffiti making nonsense in Mainland China but more endorsement should be given to the artists | Anonymous Graffiti in China: a New Form of Demotivational Culture? |
Thank you for the recommendation! I have watched the trailer of that documentary several months ago but not the full film – really appreciate the work of these Chinese artists. | Anonymous Graffiti in China: a New Form of Demotivational Culture? |
It’s so great to see your article! I really like the point that the feminism in this television series is not “perfect”. On the contrary, in such a world where women still meets the restrictions from patriarchal power and the requirement of being “perfect feminist”, just being oneself is the most important thing.
