The Online Exhibition of Asian Higher Fine Arts Education centers promoting the building of a community of shared destiny for mankind as its core theme. “Diplomatic relation roots in peoples’ friendship, while the friendship is based on mutual understanding.” Deepening people-to-people exchanges is regarded as an important way to promote mutual understanding and exchanges in art are of irreplaceable significance in people-to-people communication. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the exhibition was organized by means of "Internet+People-to-People Communication", with its purpose to promote harmonious cultural exchanges with diversity and inclusiveness.


The exhibits come from more than 30 colleges and universities of 15 countries, including China, Singapore, Korea, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Myanmar, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Nepal. There is a diversity of themes and performance styles, such as focuses on daily life and environment and life growth, the vibe of reality or surrealism, and more passion for home and nation. Through the images full of the artists' personalized cognition and styles, we can feel imprinted contexts of their countries and nations which become a part of their blood. The works in this exhibition are gathered together to show the reflection on the common destiny of mankind interwoven in the past, the present and the future, as well as the diversity of world civilization. It also reflects the basic values of transcending the barrier of civilization through civilized communication, surpassing civilizations conflict through mutual learning, and overstepping civilization superiority by coexistence.

 

"Appreciate the culture of others as do to one's own, and the world will become a harmonious whole". This kind of vision undoubtedly brings a wonderful exhibition experience. It is not only a wonderful art image created by Asian artists, but also a process of cultural and artistic exchanges and mutual learning. We can experience the beautiful future of human beings from the reveries interwoven with personal perception, national sentiments and patriotism!
