Creation platform
YISHU 8 is housed at the gates of the forbidden city, in the former Franco-Chinese University in Beijing. This university was created in 1920 by Cai Yuanpei, Minister of Education of Sun Yatsen,
The Yishu 8 House of Arts, is an artists' residence which hosts exhibitions, conferences and concerts. It raises public awareness of contemporary creation and a certain art of living. Moreover, Yishu 8 invites all the visitors to meet each others and more specifically the two cultures, French and Chinese, that have become accustomed.
In Paris, YISHU 8 inaugurated Aunt Martine's, a space for conversations and encounters bringing together young artists, designers, art lovers and authors in residence, to offer moments of discovery in the intimate setting of a Parisian flat.
In Beijing, as in Paris, YISHU 8 creates quality exchanges, unique artistic creations, eclectic cultural programs and innovative Franco-Chinese projects.
