“Xiao Lu: First Gunshot of Chinese Feminist Art”
Xiao Lu never raised her voice — she fired a shot. In 1989, with two bullets, she shattered not only a pane of glass but also the silence surrounding women’s autonomy in Chinese art. At the time, she did not speak of feminism.

“Dialogue” Joined “China Avant-Garde”
The original idea of “Dialogue” stems from personal despair. The work shows a man and a woman making a call; the phone line hangs in the middle, proving the impossibility of such a dialogue. In this contradictory state of mind lies the original idea of the installation “Dialogue”. The last gunshot was a roar out of suppressed emotions.
