Macau Millennium College (MMC) Chancellor Ambrose So Shu Fai, who is also the chief executive officer of gaming operator SJM, opened his solo calligraphy exhibition in Lisbon last week.
The exhibition, “A Cultural Janus: Macau’s Complexity on Calligraphic Parade”, was held at the invitation of Centro Científico e Cultural de Macau (CCCM) and Instituto Internacional de Macau (IIM).Besides promoting the traditional art of Chinese calligraphy, the exhibition aims to foster a deeper understanding of Macau’s bridging role in the history of cultural exchanges between East and West and of the city’s cultural diversity through the content of the calligraphy, in the hope of actively complementing China’s “Belt & Road” Initiative and facilitating stronger co-operation with Portugal and other European Union countries. Jointly organised by MMC and IIM from Macau, and CCCM and Fundação Jorge Álvares from Portugal, the exhibition represents cross-cultural co-operation.
