Art Past Present: An Online Conversation Series

The 8th Art Past Present with Ni Haifeng—a multimedia artist in China and the Netherlands whose practice stems from an interest in cultural systems of return, exchange, language and production, exploring the simultaneous creation and obliteration of meaning while drawing attention to the cyclical movement of people, products, and goods that are often reflective of patterns of colonialism and globalization.
