Chao Hua Gala Exhibition

Highlights

The "Chao Hua Gala" exhibition is a vibrant showcase of creativity and craftsmanship, hosted by the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council's Loving Arts Youth Academy. The exhibition seeks to revitalize traditional crafts in a contemporary context through the use of cutting-edge technology, inviting audiences to explore how Chinese intangible cultural heritage—specifically Changshan garments and paper crafting—can be reimagined through AI and XR technologies.

Program

The exhibition is divided into two distinctive sections:

1. Changshan Creation & AI Virtual Fitting Experience: This section presents modern Changshan designs created by students. By blending traditional tailoring techniques with contemporary aesthetics, students have reinterpreted the classic garment. Utilizing AI virtual fitting technology, visitors can experience the visual impact of different designs instantly, witnessing the spark between tradition and modern innovation.
2. Paper Crafting (Zhazuo) & XR Interactive Experience: Under the guidance of traditional masters, students have produced exquisite paper craft works. The exhibition utilizes XR (Extended Reality) technology to create an interactive environment where virtual and reality intersect. This allows the audience to delve deep into the wisdom of heritage craftsmen while exploring themes of reunion and warmth inspired by the Winter Solstice.
