About

The Art of Life in Chinese Central Asia is edited by Darren Byler (Post-doctoral Researcher at the University of Colorado, Boulder) in collaboration with Uyghur, Han and Kazakh writers and other scholars. The site is focused on emerging forms of art and politics in Northwest China and Central Asia. Based on years of ethnographic fieldwork in migrant communities of Ürümchi, this site exists to provide a decolonial space for Xinjiang artists, film-makers, writers, musicians and poets to share what is happening to their homelands. It is here to amplify the stories of migrants who come to city in search of ways of living otherwise.
