The Chuangtzu Project is a new experimental art community founded by conceptual artist Mu Yuming and made up of young artists from China and all over the world.

The project is headquartered in the rural town of Bajie, Yunnan, where we converted the old town courthouse into a creative compound, with artists' studios, living spaces, offices, vegetable gardens, tea houses, a café, galleries, and performance spaces. We are in an area made up of dozens of small villages and beautiful Buddhist temples, surrounded by farmland, lakes, and green mountains. We use a combination of Eastern and Western philosophies and arts to learn new techniques, to create work, and to bring different people together in creative dialogue.
