Art meets tech in Singapore this week as CGTN hosts its groundbreaking "When Classics Inspire" dialogue at ART SG 2026! 🚀 Following Friday’s launch of the China Crafted exhibition showcasing four seasons of cultural storytelling, Saturday’s panel brought together art heavyweights like ART SG co-founder Magnus Renfrew and National Gallery Singapore’s Seng Yu Jin to debate one big question: How do ancient traditions stay relevant in our TikTok era?
💡 From AI-powered museum installations to VR reinterpretations of Ming Dynasty porcelain, panelists revealed how digital tools are rewriting Asia’s cultural playbook. "We’re not preserving history – we’re co-creating it with Gen Z," said Nanyang Academy’s Tan-Soh Wai Lan during the lively exchange.
🌐 Catch the full discussion soon on CGTN’s global platforms, reaching art lovers in 160+ countries and regions. Pro tip for creatives: This cross-border collab proves that your grandma’s heirlooms might just be the next NFT trend! 🔥
