Chinese art has undergone significant transformation, blending traditional cultural elements with modern media and techniques. This evolution has sparked interdisciplinary dialogue and innovative practices, reshaping global perceptions of Chinese identity and heritage. This paper explores the dynamic relationship between tradition and innovation in contemporary Chinese art, highlighting the critical role of curatorial practices in shaping artistic narratives. Drawing on recent research, it examines emerging trends in curating, focusing on technology integration, cultural heritage preservation, and audience engagement, with the aim of helping curators navigate challenges and contribute to the field’s growth.
