Commerce
C magazine review
Yuling Chen
May 13th 2026
Shokkan, an exhibition at Royal Ontario museum prefers its audience to be fluent in the language of commerce. It criticizes Israel Palestine wars, conflicts and political events using various textile art from Japan. It sees China as its competition in various affairs. It has made people take multiple jobs to compete for China’s favours. Fiefs and thieves are what China is concerned about. The exhibition has made it customary to invite people to scrutinize China. China is more or less a headache induced by these traumatic responses lingering on in its Japan exhibition. If china weren’t that powerful, would this be the case of urban elites? Donald j. Trump has recently received a golden statue from his spiritual advisor, mark burns. It has made people guess what it entails in terms of diplomacy. Mark burn is anxious. Donald j. Trump’s impact on east Asia, china, has significantly altered the discourse of racial segregation. The exhibition is tone deaf about Israel. The countries’ sudden interests in each other has aroused suspicions. Etc.
Visiting the Shokkan exhibition offers a fascinating perspective on how art can intersect with global commerce and politics. From personal experience attending similar culturally and politically charged exhibitions, I've found that such displays challenge viewers to rethink the underlying forces shaping international relations. In Shokkan, Japanese textile art serves as a visual language to discuss complex issues like the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict and the multifaceted competition between China and other global powers. The exhibition’s nuanced portrayal of China as both a competitor and a source of concern—highlighting themes like economic rivalry and political intrigue—resonates especially given current tensions in East Asia. One striking aspect is how the exhibition prompts reflection on the effects of globalization and commerce on individuals, particularly those juggling multiple jobs to maintain favor in an economically competitive landscape influenced by China’s ascendancy. It reveals how powerful geopolitical dynamics can shape everyday lives and labor markets. The inclusion of contemporary political figures, such as Donald J. Trump receiving a symbolic golden statue from his spiritual advisor Mark Burns, adds layers of interpretation about diplomacy and racial discourse in East Asia. This fusion of art and current events offers a lens into how leadership and symbolism impact international relations. Additionally, the exhibition’s critique of tone-deafness regarding certain conflicts—like Israel—invites visitors to question media narratives and national interests. It encourages a more critical and informed understanding of how global events are interconnected and commercially influenced. From a broader viewpoint, exhibitions like Shokkan underscore the importance of cultural awareness and fluency in 'the language of commerce' when navigating today’s geopolitical landscape. They serve as educational platforms that bridge art, history, and politics, making complex international issues accessible and thought-provoking to the public.
