Abstract
The freedom of expression of art institutions and curators is threatened in various ways depending on the context. The scenarios of cancellation or even closure may include the departure of sponsors and, in the Guggenheim case, anonymous threats to museum staff. At the axis of cancel culture and its opposition, there is political correctness, which stems from the growth of identity politics and multiculturalism since World War II and is driven by the profound changes brought about by globalization – a result of the interaction between modern liberalism, postcolonialism and capitalist globalization. The new methodology implies, first of all, that we respect the complexity of the world and society, actively integrate our local experiences into the global landscape, and reconcile local and global experiences with delicacy and earnest. For the Chinese art scene in particular, it means not getting used to circumscribing its role as some persecuted “other”.
