What color best represents the cultural essence of China and France in your mind? This question was brought forth by Yan An, a reporter from China Daily website, at the Youth Artist Joint Exhibition hosted by Yishu8 in the National Art Museum of China in Beijing.
Artists from both China and France surprisingly provided unanimous responses, while their unique artistic perspectives led to unexpected interpretations. In response, Christine Cayol, founder of Yishu8, or the Beijing Sino-French House of Art, emphasized the crucial role of cultural exchanges between China and France in shaping a peaceful future.
This year commemorates the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and France, coinciding with the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism. Throughout the year, a diverse array of cultural exchanges between the two nations will unfold, with Yishu8″s exhibition playing an integral role in this enriching exchange.
