On the afternoon of March 3, 2018, Herstory Paper Art Show dedicated to the 110th Anniversity of Fujian Hwa Nan Women’s College opened in Rong Qiao Art Center. The ceremony was attended by officials from provincial and municipal government offices, leaders of local universities and managers from cooperative enterprises of Hwa Nan. Outstanding alumna Yintao Lin from Southeast TV Station acted as MC of the ceremony. President Su and Professor Li Yumin made opening speeches. The show will continue for 45 days and close on April 16.
This contemporary art show is presented by Paper Cutting Studio of Fujian Hwa Nan Women’s College. Ms Zhuo Yan and her sixteen students spent more than a year producing 59 paper art works in 10 series. By cutting, piercing, twining, stacking, and branding paper, they lead viewers into extraordinary stories of Hwa Nan’s 110 year history to salute the women hidden in the history. This paper art show also features 3 Lanes & 7 Alleys, and figures of Modern Chinese women writers from Fujian to awaken memories of Fuzhou history and culture.
Paper cutting displayed in this show is no longer bound to the traditional Chinese Paper cutting skills, but blending eastern and western, traditional and modern paper cutting artistic language. It is a new exploitation and exploration of paper cutting art.
