This exhibition marks the twentieth anniversary of The Confucius Institute at The University of Manchester. It explores how China has been shaped through construction, infrastructure and everyday life over the past seven decades. Paintings, photographs, drawings and installations move from the 1950s to the present, from neighbourhood streets and urban markets to public parks and the vast landscapes of the Yangtze River, tracing its entanglement with human settlement. Rather than telling a single story of development, the exhibition asks what architecture can reveal about social change, how large systems are lived on the ground, and how connections between Manchester and China may generate new perspectives.
