MIRROR PROJECT are looking for people to walk in a procession created by the Chinese artist Han Bing. It’s a chance to be a part of something special, have fun and make some friends. The message below is from MIRROR PROJECT:
MIRROR PROJECT is nearly here, and excitement is mounting. Come and be part of a rainbow procession of flags of the world, led by Chinese artist Han Bing on Wednesday 10th October.
Come with friends or arrive ready to make new ones, and be part of a major contemporary art event. Everyone will be given the flag of a different nation to wear, and we will parade through the city singing, reciting and chanting – generally making a din – with our faces concealed by a mirror.
At a time when nationalism is on the rise across the world MIRROR PROJECT asks, who has the right to belong, and at what cost? How important are our cultural differences, and what is lost when we ask for those differences to be erased? The procession will end at HOME, on First Street, with drinks and pizza to reward the participants.
BE A PART OF IT
Join the procession by emailing us at asiatriennialmcr@gmail.com with the subject heading ‘Smoothing toward Utopia’ and tell us about yourself. Anyone interested in taking part should meet our team at 13:30, Manchester Cathedral, Wednesday 10th October. The procession will start at 15:00 and will take approximately 2hrs. We will finish at HOME, Whitworth Street with pizza, drinks and a chance to socialise, share the experience and make friends with your fellow walkers.
Everyone is welcome.
Han Bing grew up in a small rural village in China, now based in Beijing, he is an artist who works across performance, painting, photography and installation.
This procession is supported by the Confucius Institute at the University of Manchester.
