Info

When we say Chineseness, what exactly do we refer to? Taotao Li analyses three Chinese immigrant groups of different origins and reveals the different roots beneath the superficial Chinese identity through three different aspects (Culture, Food, Language).” In Chinese culture, “three” means “a large quantity”. Through this exhibition, Taotao Li attempts to demonstrate the complexity of the internal nation-building of the Chinese immigrant community underneath similar external facades. By confronting common stereotypes, Taotao seeks to emphasise the subjectivity of the Chinese as a minority immigrant community. ‍

简介

当我们说中国性时,我们究竟指的是什么?李任涛分析了在荷兰海牙唐人街中三个不同来源的中国移民群体,并通过三个不同的方面(文化、食物、语言)揭示了表面的中国身份下的不同根。通过这个展览,李任涛试图展示中国移民群体在类似的外部表象下的内部民族建设的复杂性。并且通过对抗常见的刻板印象,去强调中国人在国外作为少数民族移民社区的主体性。
