organisation had remained in the Northern Quarter as the centre represented "a younger British/Chinese and International Chinese artists who tend to produce much more contemporary work", the venue was better placed in an "arts and cultural setting rather than a Chinatown setting". Between 2005 and 2007, the centre developed a relationship with Live Art UK to promote the work of performance artists from China and the Chinese diaspora. As a result, the centre organised the China Live tour in collaboration with Shu Yang, director of the DaDao Live Art Festival, Beijing., and the VITAL Festivals in 2006–2007. The Festivals presented Live Art performances, film screenings, and artists' talks, presentations, and a conference associated with performance artists from China and of Chinese heritage. Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (2013–2020) In October 2013, the Chinese Arts Centre became the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (CFCCA), cementing the organisation position as: During this period the centre focused its programming and curatorial activities on "The Chinese Century", an idea that the 21st century would be one dominated culturally and economically, not by western powers, but by China. Becky Kennedy observes that this notion calls for a shift away from considering Britain or the West as the centre of contemporary cultural thinking, and as suggested by the CFCCA's new mission statement, implies that issues of diversity and representation in the context of 21st century Britain are outmoded and/or have even been reversed. In 2013, CFCCA formed a collaborative partnership with the University of Salford to build a collection of Chinese Contemporary Art in Salford. The collection would include works by international artists and would be developed with input from the curators at CFCCA and academics at the University of Salford. In the same year, CFCCA developed their relationships with local and national government, which lead CFCCA being the launch venue of the Manchester China Forum co-hosted by CFCCA's curator Ying Tan and the then Chancellor of the Exchequer and Conservative MP, George Osborne. The event was widely seen as a bid to bring Chinese investment into the city as part of Osborne's vision for a Northern Powerhouse. Revisioning and rebranding as esea contemporary (2020–) Following public accusations of racism made against the centre in early 2020, and the withdrawal of several artists from exhibitions in 2020, CFCCA embarked on a 'Revisioning' project to help shift the organisation towards better practices and positive change.
