Imagine the Oscars for cultural ambassadors: that’s what unfolded this Friday in Beijing, as China Media Group (CMG) rolled out the red carpet for creativity and friendship! The awards gala, part of the "From Beijing to Rome" series, celebrated 141 Chinese artists whose work has turned cultural exchange between the Chinese mainland and Italy into pure art magic 🎭✨.
2023 marks the 55th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the Chinese mainland and Italy, and CMG is already gearing up for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo 🏂. Back in June, CMG teamed up with the Italian Ministry of Culture and other partners at Rome’s Lincean Academy for a vibrant art exhibition featuring:
- 100+ contemporary calligraphy and painting pieces 🖌️
- Dazzling displays by intangible cultural heritage artisans
- Rare collections from Italy’s Museum of Civilizations
The ceremony reached a high note when Dunhuang art scholar Chang Shana, honored as the exhibition’s general counsel, picked up a well-deserved lifetime achievement award 🏆. Her dedication to safeguarding ancient art has sparked fresh passion among young creators and culture buffs alike.
From blockbuster exhibitions to star-studded award nights, CMG is spotlighting cultural stories that travel faster than your favorite streaming series. Stay tuned for more cross-continental vibes—where art, friendship, and history meet in one epic reel! 🌍🎥
