New Folk Art, New Style, New Life

An ongoing exhibition at the National Art Museum of China explores how contemporary craftsmanship is redefining lifestyle aesthetics by integrating creative approaches to traditional handicrafts, paying tribute to artisans who preserve ingenuity while embracing innovation rooted in folk culture.

New Folk Art, New Style, New Life, running until Feb 1, presents a new landscape of folk art, guided by a vision in which art empowers the rural economy and enriches social life. The works on show incorporate new materials, techniques and styles borrowed from other forms of art and crafts. As a result, traditional handicrafts have expanded beyond their original functions to better adapt to modern living. For example, a section shows fabric works not only as garments but also in many other forms to enrich a living space. The exhibition vividly illustrates a renewed vision for the inheritance, development, and revitalization of Chinese folk craftsmanship.
