The Historical Significance and Future Voyage of "Next Island"

As the "Beacon of Pearl River Civilization," Nanhai's Xiqiao Mountain has witnessed 40,000 years of human history. Six thousand years ago, the dual-shouldered stone tool culture of Xiqiao Mountain spread to Southeast Asia and the islands of the South Pacific. For over a thousand years, Nanhai has played a vital role as a key hub of the Maritime Silk Road, deeply involved in the great cycle of land and sea trade. The continuous evolution of this civilization demonstrates that Xiqiao Mountain is not only a symbol of Chinese historical civilization but also a testament to international exchange. Today, Xiqiao Mountain continues to carry a new mission, serving as the platform for the "Next Island" Global Art Sailing Project, promoting the integration of art, technology, and culture.

This art vessel also symbolizes cross-border connectivity and collaboration. Xiang Yang, together with artists, scientists, scholars, entrepreneurs, and individuals from diverse fields, will join forces to co-create an open and inclusive art collaboration. This project will gather people from different nations and backgrounds to promote peace and unity, actively practicing global civilization initiatives and overcoming barriers. Throughout the global sailing route, the project will host international art exhibitions, academic forums, educational workshops, and community interactions.

By organizing art symposia, public lectures, experimental projects, performances, and interactive exhibitions, the "Next Island" project will engage with local communities at each port of call, promoting the sharing and co-creation of global cultural and artistic endeavors.

Art is not only an exploration of the unknown but also a means of shaping the future. The project will center around a "global voyage," combining the power of technology and art to merge innovative ideas and methods that drive societal progress. In the current environment, where global cultural exchange faces new challenges and opportunities, the "Next Island" project is focused on cultural and artistic exchange while emphasizing the balanced development of natural ecology, society, and humanity. By using art and culture as bridges, the project aims to connect people from all over the world, fostering appreciation and respect for global cultural diversity. It seeks to raise awareness of environmental protection, green energy, and sustainable development, ultimately achieving cultural integration and the pluralistic coexistence of global civilizations.
