Yulin opened its first-ever art museum on June 21st, 2025.  It marks a significant cultural initiative by the city's new leadership. This wasn’t a coincidence. The date was deliberately chosen, and the timing suggests an effort to offer a cultural alternative and redirect public attention from the horrible dog meat "festival".  

Progress in this mission can be slow and uneven. But progress is happening in Yulin. And every step, every alternative event, every shift in public sentiment, is a victory. Let’s celebrate these victories, however small they may seem.

With gratitude and hope,
