Co-launched in 2021 by Three Shadows and French fashion house Chanel, the Jimei x Arles Curatorial Award for Photography and Moving Image is a significant component of the annual Jimei x Arles International Photo Festival held in Xiamen, East China's Fujian province, to nurture talented Chinese curators working in photography and moving-image art and improve the ecosystem of these mediums.

The New Survivors utilizes video as both a display medium and a research object to explore how the memory of contemporary trauma is recorded, produced, and revised, ultimately constructing new meanings, according to Wang, who is now an associate curator at Tai Kwun Contemporary in Hong Kong.
