China Shanghai International Arts Festival (CSIAF) has launched a groundbreaking new project, Rising Artists Works (RAW), a platform that commissions young, emerging artists from across China. Asia Society and Performance Space 122 have teamed up with CSIAF for the United States Premiere of three short, music-focused, multidisciplinary ensemble works by composers Sam Wu (dolphin song), Qin Yi (Mirror Mind), and Zulan (Death and the Maiden). These three artists are articulating new forms that are locally-sourced, yet distinct in their engagement with international audiences.
Shanghai / New York: Future Histories is a co-presentation by Asia Society and Performance Space 122 as part of the COIL 2015 Festival and the China Shanghai International Arts Festival, sponsored by Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation and National Base for International Cultural Trade (Shanghai). All participating artists are within RAW (Rising Artists Works), a new series of the CSIAF and a platform that develops new ideas and emerging artists from across China.
