Get ready for a feast of colors and creativity! 🎉 The University of Johannesburg (UJ) has teamed up with Shanghai University to showcase China’s rich intangible cultural heritage through the “Belt and Road” International Handicraft Art Exhibition. Running until January 25, this event is a visual love letter to traditional crafts like intricate paper cuttings, dazzling embroidery, and iconic purple clay teapots. 🪁🖼️
From silken tapestries that whisper ancient stories to vibrant New Year paintings (nianhua) bursting with symbolism, the exhibition is themed “Dialogue with World Cultures.” It’s not just art—it’s a cultural handshake connecting continents. 🤝 After Johannesburg, the exhibition will jet off to Australia, France, Italy, and more, turning global cities into hubs for cross-cultural exchange.
Perfect for art lovers and wanderlust-driven minds alike, this event bridges tradition and modernity. Whether you’re into history, design, or just Instagram-worthy visuals, don’t miss this chance to see how centuries-old crafts inspire today’s global conversations. ✨
