All the kites on display have been made by master craftsmen and artists invited from Malaysia, Thailand, China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Some of them will be on hand to share their art, explain their gestures, and sometimes initiate visitors.
✨ Between tradition and contemporary creation
The Asia pavilion is not content with a museum look: it shows how today ‘s artists are appropriating these ancient forms to create new visual languages; often surprising, sometimes committed, always poetic.
