June 8 is the 2024 Cultural and Natural Heritage Day. In the Shanghai Museum of Arts and Crafts, No. 79 Fenyang Road, the "Silk Reflection of Ancient Rhythm - 2024 Intangible Cultural Heritage Representative Project Protection Achievements Exhibition" was officially opened.

The exhibition is jointly organized by the Shanghai Arts and Crafts Museum, Shanghai Songjiang Gu Embroidery Research Institute, Shanghai Sanlin Embroidery Art Co., Ltd., Shanghai Arts and Crafts Co., Ltd. Arts and Crafts Research Institute, and Shanghai Shanlin Business Consulting Co., Ltd.

Embroidery has a history of more than 2,500 years, and various schools have been formed during the development of history. In this exhibition, more than 40 outstanding works were jointly exhibited by Gu Embroidery, a national intangible cultural heritage project, Sanlin Embroidery, and Shanghai Silk Embroidery, a Shanghai municipal intangible cultural heritage project. The exhibition not only shows the public the results of Shanghai's research and inheritance of embroidery in recent years, but also contributes to the spread of Shanghai-style culture.

As the main material for embroidery, silk thread not only has flexibility, delicate texture and natural luster, but also shows rich color and texture changes. Embroidery works made with silk thread show fine workmanship, elegance, and superb character. These four qualities are not only the character of the embroidery work, but also the character of the embroiderer. The organizer stated that the exhibition uses a new language to construct the silk-like spiritual landscape of the times and reconstruct the relationship between silk thread, embroidery techniques, embroiderers and contemporary life.

During the exhibition, the audience has the opportunity to appreciate these precious intangible cultural heritage works up close and appreciate the unique visual effects of the "picturesque scene". The organizer will also hold lectures, experience activities, etc. to enrich the depth of the exhibition.

The Dinosaur Resurrection Record - Interactive Experience Exhibition on Returning to the Age of Dinosaurs presents the entire process of dinosaur "resurrection" through graphic and textual introductions, model displays, and scene restoration. Due to the discovery of more new fossils, scientists have conducted further research and made corrections

2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Picasso's passing. The exhibition "Picasso, Masked Image" recently opened at the Cervantes Library in Shanghai, featuring the multi faceted images of artists and the works of five photographers.

Picasso quickly realized that as a modern artist, he needed to shape his public image to enhance his personal reputation and social recognition. He made an exception by opening his villa and workshop in France to photographers, showcasing his personal achievements and interesting moments in life.

There are many titles for Jazz Skolymovsky, including Polish director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and painter. This year, he has also gained a new title as the chairman of the judging committee for the main competition unit of the Shanghai International Film Festival Golden Earl Awards. On June 14th, at the Chairman's Forum of the Golden Earl Awards Jury, this film master with a long name and title shared his creative journey and insights into film art with the audience. The reporter was ready to listen to the book, but surprisingly, Skolimovsky's expression was very easy to understand. He was good at giving examples and telling stories, and occasionally had a bit of cold humor. When talking about the relationship between the film director and the audience, Skolimovsky tapped the armrest of the sofa with his elbow and said, "Hi, do you understand?
