event recap (zh) ↗

YIYI Sphère × ARTION, in collaboration with Deng Qiwen and Wang Tianyu, founders of mil.lieux, invite you to an in-depth conversation on the Parisian experience of East Asian art practitioners.

What does it mean to build a practice in Paris as an East Asian artist or cultural worker? How do those with Sinophone backgrounds carve out space for their voices in an art scene that, despite its cultural richness, remains constrained in its openness to non-mainstream discourses and perspectives?

This sharing session is conceived as a warm, open, and inclusive space for exchange — across generations, disciplines, and levels of experience. Whether you are a student, an emerging professional, or simply curious about the French art ecosystem, we warmly invite you to come with your questions, your stories, and your own perspective.
