This Is Shanghai

This is Shanghai, explores and celebrates the relationship between Liverpool and its twin city in China, in a globally groundbreaking art exhibition across Liverpool’s iconic Waterfront at Cunard Building, Tate Exchange Liverpool, Mann Island & Museum of Liverpool.

Presented by Culture Liverpool in partnership with Open Eye Gallery, this project has been developed to explore and reimagine Shanghai’s everyday reality within the city of Liverpool to reflect urban and cultural evolution and transformation through some of the leading and emerging contemporary artists within Shanghai.
