Art meets innovation! CGTN hosted a vibrant panel discussion titled 'When Classics Inspire' today at Southeast Asia's premier art fair, ART SG 2026. The event comes fresh off Friday's launch of their China Crafted series – a celebration of traditional craftsmanship meeting modern design. 🖌️
Cultural heavyweights including Magnus Renfrew (ART SG co-founder) and Dr. Kevin Lam (Asian Civilisations Museum) explored how TikTok-era artists are remixing historical aesthetics through digital exhibitions and immersive storytelling. 💡 "We're seeing ancient patterns become NFT art," noted National Gallery Singapore's Seng Yu Jin during the lively exchange.
Key discussion points:
How Ming Dynasty motifs inspire VR installations
AI's role in preserving Uygur textile techniques
Gen Z's hunger for culturally-rooted content
With the China Crafted exhibition already trending globally, this cross-cultural conversation proves old masters can still teach new tricks! 🎯
