Shanghai Transforming @ CAF

The transformation of Shanghai is unique in its speed, scale, and politics. In image and text, Shanghai Transforming studies the facts: historic, environmental, economic, social and political—equipping readers to untangle and understand these complex processes, and in so doing, to explore possibilities for the future.

The exhibition, curated by Iker Gil, features graphics, photographs, and maps in order to analyze the past and speculate about the future of a city in transition. By approaching Shanghai from the perspectives of economy, culture, and politics, Shanghai Transforming delivers a multifaceted study of city building..
