Running from now till 10 October 2018, the Safeguarding the Community exhibition does just that – brings back memories of a culture long lost and safeguards the society against collective amnesia. Divided into eight zones, the exhibition delves into various periods in Chinese history – the feuds during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the intricacies of the Fujian martial arts, various rites and rituals thought to ward off evil spirits like the fire dragon dance, Hakka unicorn dance and many more.

At the heart of this exhibition is the evocative use of digital media to connect the dots with the past. Hence we see artists like Stanley Wong create fire dragon dance animations using visual effects and an interactive Wokou scroll from Tokyo University that shows the battle between the Ming kings and the Wokou pirates vividly.

Thanks to technology, the past unfurls before our eyes – and that is exactly where the success of the exhibition lies.
