Between two worlds

Three artists with mixed Chinese and Australian Aboriginal heritage have come together to present their works that explore their identities caught between two ancient cultures. Xu Jingxi reports.

Wearing an Aboriginal necklace, a man strikes a typical kung fu greeting pose. He is wearing four flags on his back like wings. They are the flag of China, the banner of the King of Scots and the national flags of New Zealand and Spain.

This is the image of a huge digital print hanging at the entrance of YibanYiban, which means "half half" in Chinese. It is an exhibition by three Australian contemporary artists with Aboriginal and Chinese heritage which is on display in Guangzhou until Aug 17.
