The Long March Project was founded in 1999 as a curatorial and artistic practice intertwining historical memory with contemporary urgencies. Officially launched in 2002 with Long March – A Walking Visual Display, the project adopted the revolutionary Long March as its guiding metaphor, developing collective walks, discussions, and installations. That same year saw the opening of Long March Space in Beijing’s 798 District, originally named the 25000 Cultural Transmission Center. For more than two decades, it hosted groundbreaking exhibitions, becoming a critical laboratory and a platform for dialogue between art, research, and the public. In June 2025, the space held its final exhibition, marking the beginning of its closing chapter. Until December 13, founder Lu Jie will lead daily dialogues with the public, accompanied by the display of two archive volumes retracing twenty-five years of activity. After that date, Long March Space will leave 798 permanently, transforming into a mobile and decentralized project, without a fixed location but able to regenerate itself in different contexts, keeping alive its reflection on art and memory.
