51 Personae

51 Personae is a collaborative art project, publishing initiative, and cooperative platform. It started as an off-site program of the 11th Shanghai Biennale, composed of 51 events in Shanghai based on individual/group experiences/actions within the context of urban transformation (2016-17). Since 2018 onwards, it has evolved into a self-sustaining independent art publishing project, believing that publishing is both an urgent and valid artistic practice. 51 Personae places special emphasis on life experiences in Asia and the Third World, as well as marginalized voices under suppression.
