Hello Chengdu!!! NUART Festival 2016 has begun! I rolled in, got settled, and headed to the street to catch the headliner of the main stage of day one. A hip-hop group that raps in Sichuanese. Met up with Kristen Ng in real life for the first time. She's busting her ass for this thing, and it shows. NU SPACE has only been open a few years, beginning right after I last visited. It's spectacular! Huge, open art rooms, a cafe, and a live space that can hold 200 people. Today, Chinese Football from Wuhan, IIMUNE, and more! Stoked. Bravo to the Nu Space staff. This reminds me of a street fest in Chicago, with local brewers, artists, sprawling down the street. Jef Vreys slinging records from a small table. It rules! Day two, go! #chengdu #china #nuspace #music (at Chengdu, China)
