“Yet to Know“ Macau New Woman Contemporary Art Exhibition, which is sponsored by Macau Cultural Affairs Bureau and organized by New Woman Development Association of Macao, is going to be launched on 9th November at 3 p.m at Mount Fortress Corridor.
This is the exhibition that brings together 8 female artists to create on the subject of “Woman” in Macau. The art works that were created with diversified forms will be presented in a contemporary sense of freedom, uniqueness and innovation. Throughout the exhibition period, there will be different kinds of interactive activities, such as guided tours and workshops, to help the audience understand deeply the philosophy and ideas of the artists.
Exhibition Theme
Bai Juyi, a renowned poet in China’s Tang Dynasty once wrote this in his classic <The Song of Everlasting Sorrow>, “A lass in the Yang family had reached puberty. As she was raised deep in her boudoir, no one knew her beauty”. It described the time that Yang Yu Huan who was later known as Yang GuiFei (The Chinese spelling and pronunciation of high-ranked imperial concubine is “GuiFei”) just grew into a graceful young lady, but not yet known by others since she was required to stay in her boudoir.
In ancient China, Chinese women were rarely allowed to approach the outside world, sooutsiders could barely see the appearances and get to know the personalities ofthe Chinese young ladies. In fact, women had a low status in ancient feudaltime, and a variety of restraints had stopped them from showing what they were capable to the public.
In this sentence from the poem, it expressed the pity of beautiful things not yet being known. Therefore, the Chinese saying that “As she was raised deep in her boudoir, no one knew her beauty” is often used later to describe the fresh and beautiful things that are not yet known by others. And here, we used “Yet to Know” as our English theme to represent the name philosophy.
