Co-presented by Wuhan Contemporary Art Lab and Yiwei Gallery, the third edition of C Art Festival returned to Garden Ave in central Wuhan. Under the banner C You in The Future, the festival explored how familiar urban spaces carry memories and how they might be used differently.
For four days, individual parking bays became spaces for painting, photography, video and installation. The original bay markings and exposed roof structure remained visible throughout, keeping the garage’s everyday character in view as visitors moved from one exhibition to the next.
Artist talks, theatre workshops, dance and live music ran alongside the exhibitions. The programme brought local and international art practices into the same setting, giving visitors opportunities to encounter the work, join a workshop or speak directly with the people who made it.
The festival began at Wuhan C Lab, where artists, guests, and visitors gathered to open the 2026 edition.
Founded by dancers Wang Xiamei(汪夏梅)and Li Huihui(李慧慧), WLBODY explores environmental dance and physical theatre through the relationship between body and space.
