Exhibition Name: Always replacing old charms with new ones

Exhibition Dates: November 19-21, 2021

Exhibition Location: Pudong New District, Shanghai

Keywords: Tricycle Space; Spring Festival; Customs;
Micro-Exhibition



We left home to pursue our studies, traveling far and wide, yet gradually, we began to forget where we came from, losing touch with the local customs and seasonal traditions. "Always replacing old charms with new ones" is our reflection on the evolving nature of festivals. In a time when the festive atmosphere is increasingly fading, we explore the origins, transformations, and new forms of the Spring Festival, hoping to prompt viewers to reflect on these traditions: Why must we continuously replace the old with the new? What factors have caused the loss of the festive spirit? And who is shaping our holidays?

This exhibition is housed within a tricycle in Shanghai, marking our attempt to bring a micro-exhibition to the public. In a small, mobile space amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, perhaps the festive atmosphere once floated gently on the breeze.

我们负笈求学，行至多方，却渐渐忘却来处，遗忘了此地的时令风俗。“总把新桃换旧符” 是我们关于节日的讨论，在节日氛围愈发淡薄的当下，我们梳理春节由来、变迁及新的形态， 期望引发观者对于节庆民俗的思考：我们为何必须不断“总把新桃换旧符”？什么因素导 致年味丢失？又是谁在主导我们的节日？

展览安置于上海的一辆三轮车中，是我们以微型展览走向公众的一次尝试。在繁忙都市的 一隅移动空间里，节日的氛围或许曾随风飘荡。
