Rockbund Art Museum 上海外滩美术馆

As you go… roads under your feet, towards the new future is a long-term project and research inquiry that reflects on the Belt and Road Initiative and how it will alter the aesthetics and practices of everyday life in different local contexts. The project was conceived and initiated by Biljana Ciric in 2019 after conducting curatorial research in East Africa, Central Asia, and several Balkan countries where the project is situated.

The inquiry is structured as a long-term research project over a period of three years through research cells of organizations, institutions and individuals: What Could Should Curating Do (Belgrade), Moderna Galerija (Ljubljana), Rockbund Art Museum (Shanghai), Times Museum (Guang Zhou), ArtCom (Astana), Robel Temesgen and Sinkneh Eshetu (Addis Ababa), and The Public Library (Bor). Research cells vary from small-scale, single person organizations, to state and private museums; the differences produced by their various roles and voices, within their respective local contexts, being not only important when considering [the politics of] knowledge production, but also crucial to the premise of the project.

“要旅行，先修路。通向未来的路在你脚下”是一个长期的研究项目，反映“一带一路”倡议，以及它如何影响对不同语境下日常生活中的美学实践。策展人比利安娜·思瑞克曾在东非、中亚和若干巴尔干国家进行策展研究，并于2019年构思并发起该项目。

这是一项为期三年的长期研究项目，一系列组织、机构和个人将作为研究“细胞”参与其中，包括：教育平台“策展能/该做什么”（贝尔格莱德）、现代艺术画廊（卢布尔雅那）、上海外滩美术馆）上海）、广东时代美术馆（广州）、ArtCom（阿斯塔纳）、研究员罗贝尔·特梅斯根和辛克·埃谢图（亚的斯亚贝巴）、博尔公共图书馆（塞尔维亚）。这些研究“细胞”小至小规模的个人组织，大至国家与私人博物馆；基于不同语境形成的不同角色与发声方式不仅在考虑知识生产[的政治性]时十分重要，也是该项目的重要前提。
