We are pleased to welcome Danielle Shang to CIMAM!
"I hope to connect with peers in the CIMAM network who share similar ideas about uplifting artists and cultural workers of color, expanding the discourse on art history and identity expressions, and code-switching in institutional representation, interpretation, and knowledge production.”
Danielle Shang, Artistic Director, Cc Foundation & Art Center, Shanghai, China.
"At Cc Foundation, a not-for-profit, permanent institution, my responsibilities include research, acquisition, and programming. The mandate for all our activities is to build an open relational platform for artists, cultural workers, other institutions, and the public to catalyze conversations on issues such as the global versus the local, the Global South, the Third Space, postmemory, ecofeminism, navigating different art histories, and creating a more sustainable and equitable community. Our collection reflects these discourses, which also guide my writing, project selection, and acquisitions for the foundation.”

Her research delves into the effects of globalization, urban renewal, social change, and class restructuring on art-making and the broader narrative of art history. Recently, her work has concentrated on examining how artists in the Global South engage with the decentralized informal economy to create works that are later disseminated through the institutionalized formal systems of the global art world.
