In this exhibition discovery program, artists Hou Wei and Stéphane Maggiacomo lead children through the exhibition, delving into the faces and stories of the works on display.

The Artist Ji Yunfei uses Chinese ink to show evocative images of deep societal themes, like the Three Gorges migrants. Our young artists Stéphane and Hou Wei will lead us in a discussion of such profound themes. Come and join the artist-led exhibition tour series and find out where it will lead you!

Every year, UCCA features many exhibitions that inspire and ignite the imagination. This is the first event in our new ‘artist-led series’, which will allow kids to engage more deeply with our exhibitions and the work of artists on display.
