”Alterity,“ from the Latin ”Alteritas,“ signifies the state of being other or different. The prefix ”Alt“ suggests ”alternative,“ one of the derivatives of ”Alterity.“ “Alt-Alterity” is a manifesto for the future of coexistence, a way of being in which the notion of “alterity” need not exist, prompting a departure from an anthropocentric perspective to one that values a comprehensive appreciation of planetary diversity and interconnectedness. From December 2023 to February 2024, Alt-Alterity features the creative voices of 26 groups of artists hailing from 13 countries. From the imagination of reversed realities and hybrid forms of existence to the exploration of marginal cultural expressions and the blurred boundaries of fluid identity, we will guide you through the following themes: ”Unsung Wisdom, Rebel Tech“, ”Ephemeral Cycles, Everlasting Collapses“, and ”Fluid Bodies, Blurred Boundaries.“ /Artists Aiping Xu, A.J. Cincotta-Eichenfield, Angela M Link, Bobby Zhaocheng Xiong, Chia-Hua Lee, Christie Lau, Betty Russ and Michael Donnelly, Fatima Al-Kuwari, Flavia Mazzanti, Ishraki Kazi, Joshua Carlos Barrera, Krithi Nalla, Ludovica Galleani d‘Aglian, Meiyi Jiang and Xiaoting Tan, Mehrdad Sedaghat Baghbani, Mingyong Cheng, Mo Nan, Shashwath Santosh, Symonne Liu, Tiange Wang and I-Yang Huang, Tianyun Jiang, Xinyuan Ma, Yimei Zheng, Yu Chen, Yuwen Huang, Yuqing Liang, Zhijun Song and Yalin Hu /Curators Xiaofan Jiang, Fangyi Yang
Transcending Boundaries
08.20.2023 | Pearlona Common Room, Shanghai
Are the boundaries that define our world truly inherent, or are they constructs waiting to be challenged? As an artificial notion diverging from universal interconnectedness, can we transcend these boundaries and disentangle ourselves from those unquestioned restrictions? Transcending Boundaries is an immersive pop-up exhibition inviting emerging artists to challenge ingrained notions, breaking through perception, gender, culture, specie, space and time. Participating Artists: Kaijie Chen, Yawei Chen, Kelisi Smith, Yuchen Jiang, Xiaofan Jiang, Peng Ke, Green Lava, ShinySoso, Miner Zeng, Yilin Zhang, Fangyi Yang, Wei Wu, Xinyi Wu, Yiou Wang

Our lives are shaped by the ties that bind us to the world around us. These ties weave networks of relationships that make up our narratives and help us navigate the complexities of our planet. UAAD invites you to explore these connections with Ties That Cannot Be Unbound, an online exhibition that discusses the interconnectedness of spirituality and physicality, the blurred boundaries between the living and the non-living, and the ties between our bodies and the environment. Featuring outstanding works in sound, image, film, and interaction, this exhibition responds to the question: what kinds of ties are impossible to unbind? Join us on a journey of self-discovery and collective action towards a more sustainable and harmonious future.
