Abstract
Banyan Commune is a community art project of Guangdong Times Museum in Guangzhou, China. The article examines how Guangdong Times Museum has positioned itself through Banyan Commune project to seek a locality in the complex flux and symbiosis of the Pearl River Delta in relation to de-Euro-American-centered art world dominance, and to build a new type of relationship with its community. By presenting several cases of Banyan Commune project and analyzing the reflections of their practice, with a focus on the anthropological and immersive mapping practice employed by the museum and the artists to learn about and to feel the community, the article explores the contexts, the connections, and the potentiality of the type of innovative community art as experimented by Banyan Commune.
