A gathering hosted by artists CAO Minghao and CHEN Jianjun with their collaborators - architects CHI Xin'an and WAN Li, sociologist LI Jing, ecologist ZHU Dan, and writer Paul Salopek.

Based on their new series of work at the headwaters of the water system, the artists Cao Minghao and Chen Jianjun explore how to reactivate existing resources, especially those in "ruins," through the lens of walking, architecture, ecology, sociology, and research-based art. In doing so, they demonstrate the potential for interdisciplinary exchange and fundamental transformation among participants in the black tent.  

Black Tent Meeting #4 will continue the presentation of work by the artists based on a holistic value system of coexistence that stems from their research in The Ecology of Sands and "Black Beach." This work was first realized within the framework of the documenta 15 in Kassel, from June 18th to September 25th, 2022, as part of their installation Water System Refuge #3, which centered on a series of workshops held in black tents hand-woven by herders.

In conjunction with the exhibition Walking China: Stories yet to be told.
