Projects

Chinese Culture Exhibition

In 2017, the Chinese culture exhibition opened at the Rietveld Theatre, offering visitors an insight into traditional culture and lifestyle from the East as well as its modern development. Exhibition of Traditional Chinese Culture and Life features various conventional art forms such as ink wash painting, oil painting, and calligraphy. In addition, it is also a microcosm of the traditional lifestyle of Chinese literati. The event also features an inspirational talk on Chinese tea. Such lifestyle, including burning incense to achieve inner peace, making tea and making flower art at home, had a profound impact on Chinese literati from ancient times, which, over the centuries, has entered ordinary people's lives gradually.
