Tracing

Cultural attractions breathe life into texts and images, which, in turn, preserve and extend culture through the rethinking and reconstruction of texts and images. This exhibition seeks to investigate a web of texts and images, inviting the audience back into history to explore the boundless possibilities of “writing” about cultural attractions. Join us as we retrieve lost memories in history, experience the magic of time, and create a shared spiritual civilization together.
