Living Craftsmanship — Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition

Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage (ICH) carries profound historical and cultural significance, with traditional craftsmanship reflecting the wisdom, experience and aesthetic values accumulated by generations of artisans. The ICH Office presents the exhibition "Living Craftsmanship — Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition" at CLP Pulse, inviting visitors to explore the dedication and skills of ICH practitioners through eight items of traditional craftsmanship of Hong Kong's ICH. The exhibition showcases the historical and cultural significance behind these crafts, the stories of their transmission, and their close connection with everyday life.

The exhibition covers eight items of traditional craftsmanship of Hong Kong's ICH, including the Technique of Making Kwan Kwa Wedding Costume, Flower Button Making Technique, Paper Crafting Technique, Cantonese Opera Headdress Crafting Technique, Wooden Boat Building Technique, Steamer Making Technique, Mahjong Tile Making Technique, and Guangcai (The Canton Famille Rose Porcelain) Making Technique. By showcasing the exquisite works, production tools of these ICH items, and supplemented by interactive multimedia programmes, the exhibition vividly presents the vitality of traditional crafts in contemporary society, highlighting the symbiosis and integration of "tradition" and "creativity". Everyone is cordially invited to experience the beauty of Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage firsthand and discover how tradition and innovation blend to perpetuate cultural inheritance.

The exhibition is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has long been promoting Chinese history and culture through organising an array of programmes and activities to enable the public to learn more about the broad and profound Chinese culture.
