"The Great Camouflage" Rockbund Museum of Art / Shanghai

"The Great Camouflage" at the Rockbund Museum of Art (RAM) in Shanghai, curated by X Zhu-Nowell and Kandis Williams, is a multilevel exhibition that responds to global political and social exhaustion. Anchored in Black feminist thought and taking Suzanne Césaire's writings as a starting point, the show revisits revolutionary attitudes and builds new networks of solidarity across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, deliberately decentering Euro-American narratives. It features works by artists including Christine Tien Wang, Hao Jingban, and Wang Tuo, and highlights figures such as Amy Ashwood Garvey, Eslanda Robeson, Shirley Graham Du Bois, and Grace Lee Boggs.
