Stay Connected: Art and China Since 2008 is a landmark compendium produced by Tai Kwun Contemporary and Asia Art Archive. Bringing together over 80 artists from China and beyond, the volume maps artistic responses to the profound social, economic, and technological shifts of the 21st century. Structured around nine keywords, it features newly commissioned essays by curators, writers, and scholars, alongside short texts on artworks and an extensive archival section. With three in-depth curatorial essays, this richly illustrated book offers a panoramic yet incisive account of contemporary art's entanglement with the realities of globalisation, making it an indispensable reference for understanding China's place in the world today.

This book project was part of an annual series of Summer seminars held at Hong Kong's Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts, which brought the intellectual community together to debate the social issues of the day. The artists, writers, and scholars included in these texts represent unconventional thinkers completing rigorous scholarship that we think is important to be published today, as Hong Kong seeks for social and political alternatives. This book will be of interest to public intellectuals, political/cultural theorists and thinkers, as well as the international art community.
