Since 2023 launch, Shining Shanghai has grown into a premier global platform for light art storytelling. The 2023 and 2024 editions collectively attracted over 5 million viewers globally, both online and offline. With its growing international recognition, the 2025 edition affirms Shining Shanghai's role as a cultural bridge connecting worldwide through new media arts, while also celebrating artistic diversity by showcasing voices from across continents and cultures
This year's open call invites artists to reimagine Shanghai's historic building, Shenyuli as a canvas for projection-based storytelling. Artists from around the world explore themes of identity, tradition, and the meaning of home through the language of light art, projected onto century-old brick architecture in Shanghai. The Fox, the Folks from Indonesia, redefines a legendary Balinese figure as a gentle guardian spirit of the earth, blending local myth with contemporary visual storytelling; Tunisia's Designlab presents Oum Ezzine: Woven Into History , that revives the story of legendary artisan Oum Ezzine El Jamalia, honoring forgotten memories and the collective spirit of female creativity; John Tettenborn and Kourtney Lara Ross from Germany, present TAP , a digital-era reflection on home. Their work fills the architecture with animated avatars, questioned if the screen has become our new dwelling; Hungary's artist Kati Katona, drawing on bicultural experience growing up in Serbia and living in Hungary, the work Essentia presents a layered portrait of memory and identity. From China, CTC LAB offers a projection inspired by the five natural elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, translating regional Chinese culture and environmental philosophy into a vivid interplay of light art and motion.
