18 至 19 世纪,广州(旧称 “Canton”)是中国对外贸易的中心。当时在广州西南郊区、珠江沿岸的洋行附近,有几条繁忙的商业街 —— 一排排商铺售卖着各类工艺品与奇珍异宝、茶叶、土特产及小吃饮品,主要客群为外国商人。本次展览通过展出丰富多样的中国外销艺术品,重现当年广州繁华购物胜地的景象。此外,观众还能沉浸在本地动画师徐氏兄弟(Tsui Brothers)创作的互动动画中,开启一场艺术化的 “云逛街” 之旅!
本次展览亦是 “中华文化推广系列活动” 的组成部分之一。香港康乐及文化事务署(LCSD)一直通过举办各类项目与活动,推广中国历史文化,助力公众深入了解博大精深的中华文化。如需了解更多信息,可访问香港中华文化促进中心官网:https://www.ccpo.gov.hk/en/。
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Canton (present-day Guangzhou) was the centre of foreign trade in China. There were some busy shopping streets near the foreign factories in the southwest suburbs of the Canton city along the Pearl River, with rows of stores selling various crafts and curiosities, tea leaves, local products, snacks and drinks. The target customers were mostly foreign traders. This exhibition showcases a wide variety of China trade art collections to reconstruct scenes of the bustling shopping paradise in Canton. What’s more, visitors will immerse themselves in the interactive animations created by local animators the Tsui Brothers, as they embark on an artistic window-shopping tour!
The exhibition is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has all along promoted Chinese history and culture through organising an array of programmes and activities to enable the public learn more about broad and profound Chinese culture.
