CHAxART is a Chinese tea house and intercultural gallery based in Amsterdam; it is a scenario for fun and exchanges, and a hub of glocal encounters. Through promoting Cha of China and Art of Cross, we strive to stimulate dynamic dialogues and initiate insightful narratives, making CHAxART an organic habitat of intercultural collective. It serves as a medium for people to bond and resonate with one

another: CHAxART is such a scene shared by chalovers and open to chitchats, minds and resources. We have the finest cha products with the most authentic taste, served in delicate chawares, alongside with immersive activities for a journey of experience, exploration and enjoyment. Art of Cross
CHAxART presents artists who are immersed in Eastern and Western discourses – who, either have uprooted themselves or were somehow lost in translation – yet able to find themselves in a transformation and emerge anew. Through promoting such artists and curating engaging projects, we breathe narratives that transcend language, synchronize here and now. We endeavour to establish CHAxART as an open context where we can rethink the current cultural climate, reflect ourselves and resonate with each other. Fun of Exch
CHAxART is a scene where the East meets the West, and a scenario when dynamics meets diversity. At CHAxART, fun is generated through the process of exchanges. We want our space to be a fun host, and to also hold intellectual charges of communications, while sparking new ideas, dialogues and cross-cultural creations. We believe that only by exchanges, can like-minded people find each other, and those who come from different cultural backgrounds find a common ground. Hub of Glocal
CHAxART draws on embodied experience and engagement – as ​firm advocates of the power and potential of “in-betweenness”– as self-sustainable, scalable as we are, it shares the values of both worlds, and strives to find a foothold in Sino-European intercultural collective. As a hub of glocal encounters, CHAxART wants to fundamentally contribute to an organic integration of the East and the West, from sight to story, from footstep to footage, from insight to impact.
