WRITE Dataset

The WRITE Dataset represents contemporary Chinese calligraphy and arts, connecting artworks, their calligraphic or writing-like components, literary works, people in different roles, exhibitions, artwork series, and other contextual elements. It was created for the purposes of the WenDAng - WRITE Digital Archive project (grant FARE, CINECA code: R20K7ZB983), closely related to the ERC Starting Grant project called WRITE – New forms of calligraphy in China: a contemporary culture mirror (GA n. 949645).
