The 8th Gallery Weekend Beijing kicked off on May 24, 2024, featuring over 40 captivating exhibitions from nearly 40 local and international galleries and non-profit institutions. The Up&Coming Sector carried on the tradition of backing emerging artists and curators. Curated by Yuan Jiawei, The Inner Side of the Wind resonated with the overarching theme of this year's Gallery Weekend Beijing, “Drift to Return”, which taps into how young Chinese artists reflect and express the region's interplay between global culture and China's local identity under the theme of “Drift to Return”, revealing the vitality and distinctive features of their art ecosystem.
