Among them, Chen Weixuan won this honor again after 2021 and was shortlisted again for her work "Fruit Paradise". After being selected in 2021, David was once again recognized and invited to participate in the "60th Anniversary Exhibition". He stood out from all the illustrators from all over the world who had been shortlisted in previous years and became part of the project's visual identity, adding highlights to the exhibition. This year's yearbook cover writer - Susie. Suzy Lee Suzy from South Korea. Li, winner of the International Hans Christian Andersen Picture Book Award, painted the cover of the yearbook "A Special Summer" for this year's Bologna World Illustration Award Exhibition, which kicked off this summer's exhibition and allowed us to pick up the lost innocence and imagination. Taking a break from reality may be a form of healing, a way to believe in infinite possibilities again. Let’s come and see the exhibition together this summer! Five paintings weave a dream and tell a story. The exhibition space breaks the time sequence and falls into the infinite possibilities of dreams. The themes of the works in this exhibition are rich and diverse. There are 101 illustrators and 433 paintings, which is a record high in history. The emotional expression of the paintings is more profound, and the ups and downs of life are interwoven into moving pictures. Here, you are sure to find works that resonate with you, whether they are full of childlike fun, colorful and fantastic, or thought-provoking. The content covers daily life sketches, fables, and even highly creative visual expressions, with different styles, bright colors, and full of infinite imagination. Exhibition area introduction: 1｜A Gate to the Quiet Dreams are fragments picked up from daily life, an expression, a scene, a sentence, which are pieced together again in the subconscious to become pictures. In this section, you can see the familiar Taiwanese fruit stall, which is a work by Taiwanese illustrator Chen Weixuan; you can also get a glimpse of illustrators from all over the world depicting daily life. When we leave behind the fatigue of real life, roll back the sheets and quietly fall asleep, we step into dreams together and find the simple and curious self in our hearts. 2｜Atelier de Rêves “He who looks outward is dreaming; he who looks inward is awake.” - Carl Jung If dreams are a studio, then Atelier de Rêves is the place where dreams ferment and are born. 21 illustrators use a variety of media and techniques to construct their ideal scenes and emotional landscapes, stroke by stroke. Each work is like a seed, quietly sprouting on the drawing paper, waiting for the audience to irrigate and interpret it with their eyes and hearts. 3｜Isles of Dreaming Dreams are not a continuous piece of land, but floating islands of dreams floating in the subconscious. The paintings here vary in style, and the content is either fantastical, poetic, or touching. Each one is a microcosm of the illustrator's worldview. You can travel freely, rub shoulders with the characters in the paintings, and resonate with the storylines. Some pictures will make children stop and stare in amazement; some pictures will touch the hearts of adults, making them think, be silent, or smile. Everyone can find his or her own "Dream Island". 4｜Dream's Gentle Echo The dream journey will eventually come to an end. When the sun shines into the room, it's time to wake up and return to reality. In the "Echoes of Dreams" exhibition area, visitors walked through the subconscious landscapes of 101 illustrators from around the world and immersed themselves in the emotions and imaginations they depicted. When the alarm goes off, does your dream end? Or is there still an unfinished story, quietly waiting for you to complete it? A new day is about to begin, but first, a cup of coffee.

Canton Modernpresents twentieth-century Cantonese art and visual culture in its full complexity as an important chapter in global modernism. United in a shared linguistic and cultural identity, the southern port cities of Guangzhou (also known as Canton) and Hong Kong were historically marginal in China. The birthplace of revolution, the two cities gave rise to a distinctive visual and artistic modernism, one shaped by cross-cultural interactions and tensions between conservative and progressive artworlds. Cantonese artists broke away from the elegant poetics of classical ink painting to forge a socially oriented realism, depicting subjects ranging from leisure and labour to war and disaster. Working as journalists and publishers, they exploited the immediacy and circulation of print, photography, and cartoons to intervene in and even reform society.

"Colorful World - Immersive Experience of Grotto Art" is officially open to the public on the third-floor platform and corridor on the north side of the National Museum of China. The exhibition space for this immersive experience is about 1,500 square meters. The giant digital installation is designed with a blooming lotus as the main body. The artists combine digital painting, digital 3D Mapping images and AI algorithm technology to express, explore and interpret the artistic style and rich connotations of Kizil Grottoes, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Maijishan Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes with contemporary vision and unique perspectives. The "Rhombus World", "Eternal Pearl", "Oriental Smile", "Ten Directions of the Same Origin" and "Strange and Wonderful Realm" form the "Art Space-Time Experience Area", and there are also "Teaching Interactive Experience Area" and "Derivative Artwork Area", which together form a panoramic immersive experience environment, and the grotto art is given a new interpretation. The giant digital installation and the fully sensory interactive exhibition are a highlight of this experience, which opens up a new perspective for the analysis and appreciation of cave art, and also subverts the basic mode of traditional immovable cultural relics display in terms of technology and perception. Many cave art scenes have been refined and catalyzed by contemporary aesthetic concepts, some solemn and sacred, some magnificent and graceful, and gathered together across time and space. These imaginative digital art re-creations convey the aesthetic pursuit, value concept and cultural spirit carried by ancient Chinese cave art, allowing cultural heritage to continue with new artistic language based on the original creation, and radiate new vitality in the changes of the times. Grotto temples are an important part of my country's ancient cultural heritage and a shining pearl in the long history of Chinese civilization. They have unique historical, artistic and scientific values: "Cultural relics and cultural heritage carry the genes and blood of the Chinese nation and are non-renewable and irreplaceable resources of China's excellent civilization. We must bring more cultural relics and cultural heritage to life and create a strong social atmosphere for inheriting Chinese civilization." The National Museum of China has always attached great importance to the protection, inheritance, display and promotion of China's excellent cultural heritage, and actively explored new ways and new carriers for the revitalization and utilization of cultural relics. I sincerely hope that this immersive experience will promote the further improvement of the display and utilization level of grotto temples, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, continuously enhance cultural awareness, strengthen cultural confidence, promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and make new and greater contributions to building a cultural power and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
