| Summary: | This article explores the reception and the impact of the family planning policy on China’s experimental art scene. The study aims to exhibit several artist’s takes on the consequences of the demographic policy instated in China back in 1979, as well as the way art is used as an instrument to start debates, highlight social issues, and promote social and political change. For example, He Chongyue documents propaganda and the effects of the aging population in rural zones through pictures and videos. Ma Quisha records her personal experience through videos and expresses the pressure of being an only child as well as the construction of a personal identity. Zhang O and Shen Yuan reflect on international adoption and cultural identity.
