Beijing Fine Arts Academy is charging into 2026 with hooves of creativity! This week, visitors are saddling up for an immersive journey through China's equestrian heritage at the "Spirit of the Steed" exhibition – a vibrant fusion of ink paintings, sculptures, and digital installations celebrating the Year of the Horse 🎉.
Young artists are reimagining ancient symbolism through AR experiences – scan a 12th-century horse scroll with your phone, and watch it gallop across your screen! "It's like TikTok met the Tang Dynasty," laughed 24-year-old attendee Lin Wei, trying her hand at interactive calligraphy ✍️.
The exhibition coincides with Spring Festival celebrations, featuring live demonstrations of traditional paper-cutting and dough sculpting. Pro tip: Don't miss the life-sized LED horse sculpture that reacts to visitors' movements – perfect for your next Instagram story 📸.
"Horses represent perseverance in Chinese culture," explains curator Dr. Zhang Li. "In 2026, we're bridging generations by showing how these values gallop forward through new artistic languages." 🏮
