To mark the lantern festival and final day of Chinese New Year, Goldsmiths Confucius Institute will be exhibiting works in relation to light and lanterns this February
The 15th February marks the 15th day of the new lunar year and is the last day of traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. The day is known as the Lantern Festival, 元宵节 Yuánxiāo jié.
During the lantern festival, in Chinese culture people traditionally eat sweet rounded dumplings and light lanterns. It is also custom for people to make a wish for the coming lunar year whilst lighting the lantern.
Throughout the ages, Chinese people have used lanterns not only as sources of light or simple paper decorations, but also to symbolise hope, vitality, social status and bring good fortune.
We hope that this exhibition will bring a little light and time of reflection to all those passing through the Kingsway Corridor this February.
Please get in touch if you have visual artwork that you would like to contribute to this exhibition (all submissions welcome).
