What is Spittoon?

Spittoon is a Beijing-based arts collective that produces events and programming throughout China and publishes Spittoon Literary Magazine, all with the goal of bringing together Chinese and foreign writers, artists, and literary enthusiasts. We host regular literature events every Thursday in Beijing and a music-poetry collab event called Spittunes, as well as events in Shanghai, Xi'an, and Gothenberg, Sweden.

The Spittoon Literary Magazine is a biannual publication dedicated to bringing Chinese writing and art to an English-language audience. Our unique team of Western and Chinese writers seeks out, translates, and publishes China's best, most exciting new voices.
