Թ̳ the Exhibit
With its five-thousand-year-old civilization, China conjures, among other things, icons of antiquity, from sacred religious traditions to venerable cultural practices. But what is it like beyond these images? Offering a different glimpse of the country, these images, according to the exhibition text from the Cultural Counsellor’s Office, Chinese Embassy in the Philippines, display the “vim and vigor” of 21st-century Chinese society. From “spectacular landscapes to stunning architecture, everyday life, and people of all ages…,” the images showcase photography at its finest, exhibiting a “superb sense of space, movement, and alacrity”; collectively, they “capture the spirit of China in its compelling immediacy,” its boundless” vigor and prosperity vividly and realistically rendered in a myriad of colors, graceful lines, and enchanting compositions.”
Թ̳ the Organizers
The exhibit features the works of amateur and professional Chinese photographers, all selected from over 1,000 entries submitted in a photo contest in China. It is organized in partnership with the Confucius Institute, Թ̳ and the Cultural Counsellor’s Office of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines.
