Although located in different cities and regions of East Asia, people engaged in these practices share values such as those of autonomy, self-governance, anti-consumption and cooperation. They create shared spaces that are independent of the logic of capitalism and the dominant social order. Their aim is to establish new social relationships, which are not driven by profit or the influence of power. As such, they alleviate the anxieties of people in repressive social structures, liberate daily life, create new social relationships, emphasise non-exploitative labour, and open up imaginative possibilities within repressive social structures. They rebuild life directly out of what already exists, taking the lead in building a post-revolutionary world. This vision can be traced to <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Little Movements: Self-practice in Contemporary Art<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, an exhibition they co-curated in 2010, which also proposed an imaginary of the art system as a constellation of equal practices, as opposed to a structure of power. Both projects manifest Ding and Yingua Lu\u2019s belief in the agency of art in re-imagining our reality, as well as their interest in art as an intellectual and humanistic practice inseparably linked to reality.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0395\u039c\u03a3\u03a4 presents a talk by Liu Ding and Carol Yinghua Lu, curators of the upcoming 19th Istanbul Biennial (2027), on Thursday, 3 December, at 20:00.\u00a0 The talk will be introduced by Katerina Gregos, Artistic Director of \u0395\u039c\u03a3\u03a4, and will commence with opening remarks by Kevser G\u00fcler, Director of the Istanbul Biennial.
