Chinese artists have always held half of the spotlight at UCCA. Today, however, they have further honed their focus so that of the international artists they use, over half are from Asian countries.

In keeping with this, the current highly-anticipated exhibition, Indian Highway, showcases cutting edge work recently coming out of India. Many of the dominant themes in modern Indian art are analogous with those of China today. Rapid development, environmental decay, globalization and cultural shifts are all highlighted in a large variety of formats and styles. Indian Highway works as all metaphors do: helping us understand our own culture by examining a different one.

UCCA not only by showcases top quality art in a top facility, but also by educating the public via lectures, film screenings, performances and workshops. According to its website, over 140,000 people have attended UCCA's varied activities.
