The Confucius Institute and Comma Press launch China+100 anthology

14 Oct 2026

Join the Confucius Institute and Comma Press for the launch of the China+100 anthology on Thursday, 29 October at The Holden Gallery.

What might China look like in the year 2119, a century after the first outbreak of Covid-19? This is the question posed by editor Xueting C. Ni to ten leading Chinese science fiction writers in Comma Press’s new anthology China +100.

There will be readings from two of the anthology’s authors – Anna Wu (Wu Shuang) and Dan Shi, visiting from China followed by a panel discussion with the book’s editor Xueting C. Ni.

Arrive at 5pm to visit the preview of the exhibition "Building China: Landscapes of Change”. The book launch will start at 5.30pm.
