The Echo of Conch

The Echo Conch project is an innovative experiment that aims to combine art museum education with community emotional healing through artistic activities. While art museum education has traditionally been confined to the venue, this project explores new modes of integrating art exhibitions with everyday life. Inspired by Zhang Enli's exhibition in Long Art Museum, combined with the living situation of young people in the community, a set of courses is designed to try to make art museum education mobile.

BACKGROUND

The exhibition showcases works by artist Zhang Enli over the years. The audience can see him from depicting people to items to space theme of change. He is good at turning everyday objects into works of art and conveying his strong emotions to the audience. In my opinion, his works can be a good example for non-professionals to understand and learn about art. I hope to make a course of art museum education around this exhibition.

Considering the limited audience of the museum, I hope to bring the art closer to the public. Community is the place where people live, and it is also an important place for the dissemination of art. I decided to make an attempt of a mobile museum, combining the creative ideas of artists in the exhibition with the current situation of the community.

INTERVIEW

I dont like my current job at all but I don't know if I should change it, I'm afraid of the fear of the unknown, and I don't know how to soothe myself

My major is not easy to find a job. I'm getting ready to graduate now, I've invested in a lot of companies, and I still haven't found a job, which makes me very upset.

My boyfriend and I met online dating and are now in different cities. There is very little intersection between our daily study and life, and I feel that we have fewer and fewer common topics, and I am worried that it will be difficult to go on with him.

Ximei Community is located in the university town of Chongqing, where young people from abroad to study and work make up the majority of the community's population. I take young people in the community as the main object of research. In the investigation, many of them expressed that they were not satisfied with their current life status and had anxiety.

This prompted me to consider how to combine the cases of artists, use appropriate media to help the young people in the community release their inner squeezed emotions, and at the same time, how to popularize art knowledge to the public that is meaningful to them?

The emotional problems of young people in Ximei community are mainly related to social environment, study pressure and employment anxiety. Most people tend to self-digest when faced with emotional problems
