Nanjing University of the Arts and Birmingham City University in the UK recently  co-hosted a series of academic exchange activities, delving into the integration  of everyday life and artistic aesthetics. The event featured keynote speeches and  multiple topic-based presentations, covering themes such as "Everyday Acts and  Aesthetics," "The Subaltern Across Visual and Literary Practices," and "Contemporary  Extra-ordinary Living." Scholars from both institutions engaged in in-depth discussions  on topics including the practical application of contemporary Chinese aesthetics in  daily life, cultural dissemination from a global perspective, and the role of art in social  life. The event aimed to foster cultural understanding and academic collaboration  between China and the UK, promote research and development in contemporary  visual aesthetics, and open new pathways for cross-cultural artistic exchange.
