Puxi Grade 4: A Visit to the Fosun Foundation

On the afternoon of May 3rd, the fourth graders went to visit the Fosun Foundation to see an exhibition of Tomás Saraceno’s work. He is a Utopian Practitioner and Visionary Artist.

This exhibition concentrated on the space above the Earth’s surface, inviting viewers to travel together on an imagined journey from the micro to the macrocosmic. The artist centered his explorations and constructions around the spaces above the surface of Earth, located in the air, outside the realm of current human habitations.

Tomás Saraceno' works are replete with considerations of life in the future, both imaginary and practical. The exhibition showed that in this age of unprecedented human connection and interaction, we can work together to build a more beautiful future world, one whose development is sustainable in the long term.

Our students really enjoyed the exhibition. During this visit we tried to open our kids' eyes to art and increase their awareness of environmental protection, as well as broaden their horizon.
