Centre for Contemporary Visual Arts Asia
Generating new artistic understandings
Granted our established track record of intercultural exchange, we relaunch CCVA as the Centre for Contemporary Visual Arts Asia whilst maintaining its primary roots in China. Furthering its transcultural dialogues by questioning the existing histories of contemporary arts, CCVA Asia fosters innovative ways of thinking and modes of knowledge in the globalised art world.
