The Wales-China Festival, the first event of its kind to be held in Wales, will be held at Pontio in Bangor between 16-18 February 2018.
The Festival will be an intercultural event bringing together the Chinese and Welsh communities in Bangor and the surrounding area, with a high-quality artistic programme covering literature, art and the languages and art of both Wales and China.
Through performance, poetry, music, film and workshops, this unique multi-disciplinary live event will coincide with the Chinese New Year in February 2018, the Chinese Year of the Dog.
Pontio is also launching a pilot project called ‘Wal Wen’ (White Wall) – a large-scale digital art commission, to be projected onto Pontio’s vast white walls in the central atrium. The commission will coincide with the inaugural Pontio Wales-China Festival.
In addition to the live events, Pontio cinema will be hosting a range of Chinese films throughout the event, live music and pop-up events as well as free family friendly craft workshops.
