One of these installations is 'Terracotta Daughters,' by French artist Prune Nourry, an on-going project comprised of over a hundred statues that represent the Chinese girls lost to the selective female infanticide that is the result of the one-child policy in China. Nourry worked with a local craftsman to complete the statues, each which took over a year to complete and were inspired by orphan girls who Nourry met. The statues use [traditional terracotta and patina techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ucca-clay-museum) to better reflect each little girls' appearance and personality. The group of statues will travel until 2030, where they will be buried, in an homage to the journey of the original [Terracotta Army](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iztapalapa-pilares-community-center) of third century BC. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **In-situ Installations:** Exploring the potential of in-situ installations can create immersive and transformative experiences for visitors. - **Selective Female Infanticide:** Addressing the issue of selective female infanticide through art installations can bring awareness and spark conversations about gender equality. - **Cultural Heritage Interpretation:** Using art installations to interpret and showcase cultural heritage can provide a unique and engaging way for audiences to connect with history. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Centers:** Art centers can leverage in-situ installations to attract visitors and offer them immersive experiences that go beyond traditional exhibition spaces. - **Social Advocacy:** Art and exhibitions can be powerful tools for social advocacy, promoting dialogue and raising awareness on important issues like selective female infanticide. - **Heritage Tourism:** Integrating art installations into heritage tourism experiences can create enriched and interactive journeys that captivate tourists and showcase cultural significance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Terracotta-Highlighting Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nossa-terra.md) - [Refugee-Informed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-life-jackets-installation.md) - [Terracotta-Inspired Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grounded-exhibtion.md) - [Airport-Based Retro Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twilight-of-the-warriors-walled-in.md) - [Archeology-Exploring Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andreas-angelidakis1.md) - [Commemorative Parisian Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kamel-mennour.md) - [Cross-Cultural Artistic Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kasashima-gallery.md) - [UK-Based Modern Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relics-in-the-landscape.md) - [3D-Printed Population Statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mathieu-lehanneur-created.md)
