At the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting in Beijing, world theatre ambassador Lemi Ponifasio shared his vision for boosting the global presence of Chinese artists. Having toured with members of the Yi ethnic group in Sichuan Province, he experienced firsthand the vibrant creativity emerging from these cultural hubs.
Despite China being a political and economic powerhouse, its contemporary stage artistry isn’t getting the spotlight it deserves. Ponifasio remarked, "Chinese artists in the international arena are missing," and called on China to step forward with renewed cultural confidence to lead global dialogue. 🌏✨
This inspiring call resonates with tech-savvy, creative young professionals across South and Southeast Asia. Whether you’re into theatre, film, or digital innovation, this movement reminds us how art and cultural collaboration can bridge borders and spark change. 🚀
