Humanism in China A Contemporary Record of Photography Themed "Humanized China - Individualized China", the exhibition "Humanism in China" derives from the following three ideas. First, to record in detail the daily lives of ordinary Chinese in different periods of time; Second, to display the diversity of Chinese people's lives from all walks of life; Third, to promote the humanistic spirit of contemporary Chinese candid photography. The exhibition is divided into four subjects: Existence, Relationship, Desire and Time. "Existence" reveals the contemporary Chinese people's everyday existence. "Relationship" presents the complexities and nature of relationships among nature, mankind and social environment. "Desire" stresses the influence of mental strain, manifesting people's self-awareness and natural human desires. "Time" shows the Chinese folk customs and social fashion to reflect the process of humanization and individualization in China. The exhibition was organized by Guangdong Museum of Art and Guangzhou Integrated Image Co., Ltd., and curated by Wang Huangsheng (Director of Guangdong Museum of Art), Hu Wugong (photographer and curator) and An Ge (photographer and curator).
