In Conversation with artists and curators from 'Paper Exchange'

The talk will be in English and Mandarin, translation will be available.

Paper Exchange finds common ground between artists, coming from long but differing traditions in a global, geographically shrinking world. 11 Chinese artists and 11 Welsh artists take part in the exhibition.

‘One could be amazed how these old traditions can still ignite creative ideas using ancient materials, in a digital age in which people communicate far more easily than ever before. We use social media, e-mails, FaceTime etc… but forget to pay attention to the details of our surroundings and cultural heritage - what we call traditions’ Zhu Chunhang
