Curated by Penelope Luk, the creative director of Crafts on Peel, and Benjamin Wang, an artisan from Taiwan, the exhibition delivers an interactive journey that explores the utilitarian elements, contemporary aesthetics and traditional craftsmanship of bamboo. Each section also addresses the various processes and historical context that have shaped our engagement with the material over thousands of years.
