ART: Beijing Street Art (798 Art Zone)
Aug 15th
While in Beijing I had the opportunity to visit District 798 and capture some shots of local street art and graffiti. 798 Art Zone, or Dashanzi Art District, is a part of Dashanzi in the Chaoyang District of Beijing that houses a thriving artistic community, among 50-year old decommissioned military factory buildings.
The Dashanzi factory complex began as an extension of the “Socialist Unification Plan” of military-industrial cooperation between the Soviet Union and the newly formed People’s Republic of China.
