Work by Vivien Zhang is featured in the group show The Roots Know More, at He Art Museum, Foshan, until 28 February 2026. The exhibition examines how global mapping conventions – such as the ‘North up’ orientation – reflect colonial legacies that have marginalised alternative knowledge systems, like the South-oriented maps of ancient China. By questioning who defines the ‘Global South’, The Roots Know More challenges rigid binaries and invites reflections on the authority behind global geographic and cultural frameworks.
