Mountains and sea, light and shadow—you, me, and all of us. The 2024 Siming Mountains & Sea Art Season embraces the idea of “expressing local culture through creative artistic practices.” Through graffiti, painting, installation, sculpture, and video, the season reconstructs the narratives of Siming’s mountains and sea. Art connects urban tourism with community life through fleeting yet meaningful moments in time and space.As the 2024 Siming Mountains & Sea Art Season draws to a close, a series of closing events will take place. However, our exploration of Xiamen's urban culture continues, and our creative expression of it never ceases. One of the closing highlights is the poetry and film program “Echoes of the Mountains”, curated by GyreCraft, which will be presented on March 6–7, 2024 at Siming Cinema, Gulangyu. The screening will feature six film works by six invited artists and directors: Li Baojiu, Li Dekang, Lu Fenggang, Wang Qing, Wang Yijing, and Yang Xiao, guiding the audience into diverse musical landscapes rooted in distinct regions and cultures.
