The Arts Hour in Shanghai
The best global arts coverage from across the BBC.
It’s a special Arts Hour this week: from Shanghai China.
We’re here at the time of the Shanghai Biennale - that's the biggest arts fair in the whole of Asia. And aside from the Biennale, we’ll be at the independent galleries of the trendy M50 district, taking in the extraordinary architectural skyline, visiting a restaurant that's a mixture of theatre, smell, film and music, and exploring creative new fashion design in the French Concession.
