风来习艺 (2023–present)
Wind Knows, Hand Knows is GyreCraft’s place-based curatorial and research programme, exploring local knowledge and cultural practices within a global-local context.

The Quanzhou Pavilion of China at London Craft Week 2024 and its international touring programme began in Quanzhou—a UNESCO World Heritage city and a historic point of departure on the Maritime Silk Road. Taking a stone as its point of departure, the project traced the local knowledge embedded in material, skill, and memory.Following routes between ocean and place, it explored craft traditions, fisherwomen's culture, and the intertwined histories they continue to carry. Bringing together twenty-one practitioners from art, craft, film, and design, the exhibition presented twenty-eight works, including eight newly commissioned projects. The tour opened in Guangzhou, another historic point of departure on the Maritime Silk Road.

002 The Wind from Craft Town
县域风物 (2024–present)
V&A Museum, London / China and the UKThe Wind from Craft Town is a long-term initiative working through exhibitions, forums, residencies and brand collaborations, alongside a sustained study of the ecologies of craft cities and craft towns worldwide. The project offers an alternative vantage point: development need not be measured by scale. In an era of glocalisation, small-scale action reveals its own distinct value, sustaining cultural spaces attentive to the fine-grained relationships between people and making — so that tradition is no longer consigned to the past, but participates, in a state of continual change, in present production and future imagination.
2025年在国际上推出“The Wind From Craft Town县域风物”项目，也是系统性开启中国地域文化的全球推广。该活动首场于英国V&A（Victoria and Albert）博物馆举办，也作为中国美术学院美丽中国海外巡展的重要一站，联动英国世界工艺城市与中国工艺城市网络，搭建中英工艺与产业交流平台，助力中国品牌国际化，向世界呈现中国城市、风物与当代生活美学。

GyreCraft Film Festival
环流影像周
2023年，GyreCraft 发起「环流影像周」，以厦门与伦敦的双城模式展开，从两座城市各自的水域背景与滨水社群出发，探索地方影像如何在不同地域之间流动、交流并产生新的语境与连接。此后，环流持续通过不同尺度的影像项目，将影像作为理解地方、记录个体经验以及建立跨地域连接的方法。
In 2023, GyreCraft launched GyreCraft Film Festival, developed across Xiamen and London as a dual-city programme. Taking the two cities’ relationships with water and their waterfront communities as a starting point, the programme explored how place-based moving-image practices can circulate across geographies, creating new contexts, exchanges and connections. Since then, GyreCraft has continued to develop moving-image projects at different scales, using the medium as a way to understand place, document individual experiences and build connections across regions.
