This year’s "MGM Lion Dance Festival” highlights include the "Lion Dance Culture in Chinese Life" exhibition, which brings together four lion dance heritage bearers from different regions and five contemporary cross-media artists. The exhibition showcases nine lion dance artworks that fuse traditional craftsmanship with modern creativity, connecting the world through the spirit of the lion. Tracing the roots and transformation of lion dance culture, the artistry of lion head making, and the journey of the lion dance from folk activity to the international stage, the exhibition reveals how lion dance heritage continues to thrive and shine in the new era.
