I was strolling through Suzzallo Library today when I noticed that there is a new exhibition going up in Room 102 (it’s on the left after you walk through the main entrance). It is an exhibition of Chinese paper cut art called Cutting Ribbons for the Olympics. The theme of the show is Chinese folk sports, in celebration of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The East Asia Library has collaborated with the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in San Francisco to bring this traveling exhibition to the University of Washington. The official opening ceremony is this Thursday, June 5 at 3pm (open to the public), and the show runs until August 3. I am amazed by the beauty and detail of paper cuts. Check it out.
