Chinese Paper-cuts and Paintings
Exhibition
Paper cutting is part of Chinese folk art
and is much loved in China. It is purported to have begun
during the Tan Dynasty (AD 618-906) and is traditionally a
female activity.
Paper cuts have special significance and
are used during Chinese festivals, ceremonies and family
celebrations. On the eve of Chinese New Year (Spring Festival)
they are used to get rid of the old and bring good luck to the
household. Coloured paper-cuts are pasted on windows, doors
and walls to brighten up homes and express greetings and add
festive spirit to the celebration.
The exhibition will
be held from March 9 (opening at 2pm)
to
March 17 2012 at the Perth Town Hall
(Lower Foyer) on the corner of Barrack and
Hay Streets in Perth. It will be open from 10am to 4pm
daily.
