"A Hanzi is a poetry itself." —Anke Bangma

Presented in the exhibition 'Wat ik je nog wilde zeggen' (What else I wanted to tell you) co-curated by Rianne Zijderveld and city poet Dean Bowen at TENT Rotterdam.

Zi Xian, with a specific display unfolding the fragility and timelessness of languages as our tools, is invited to be part of the dialogues seeking the lost narrative and found forms of our languages.

More info will be updated soon.
