The Lunar New Year, or 春节 (chūn jié /Spring Festival), marks a time when nature stirs anew, inviting reflection on the past while embracing fresh beginnings.
Blossoms of Renewal offers a space where participants create their own vibrant 窗花 (chuāng huā/window blossoms), intricate paper-cut designs symbolising joy, celebration, and the warmth of community. These traditional decorations, often displayed during the Lunar New Year, bring good luck and happiness, and are made with colourful, delicate paper cuttings.
