In this remarkable exhibition, we embark on a journey into the artist's past, specifically his cherished childhood memories from Boulder Hill, a place where stories have both their roots and their ongoing chapters.
Tang Shuo takes on an unprecedented artistic quest, striving to breathe life into these characters and unveil the captivating tales that surround them. Born in 1987, he spent over a decade in the economically challenged village, where stories transformed it into a micro-society.

"Woman Foraging for Wild Greens" delves into the artist's grandmother's poignant history during the tumultuous 1960s in China's Great Leap Forward era. This era is remembered as a time of immense social and political changes, and it is estimated that millions of lives were lost to starvation Amid extreme food scarcity, with the artist's father as a young child and their grandfather absent, the grandmother resorted to foraging wild greens in the wilderness for survival. In harsh winters, she even turned to tree bark for sustenance. The artwork portrays her determination and resilience in the face of adversity during this challenging period.
