Inspired by the traditional concepts of Sichuan cuisine, the exhibition delves into its cultural, geographical, and historical contexts. It encourages visitors to explore the diverse elements that have shaped this globally renowned culinary tradition, with each photograph revealing the human stories behind Sichuan’s rich food heritage.
Coinciding with the exhibition, Hartung’s new coffee table book, also titled The Flavours of Sichuan: A Tribute to the Art of Sichuan Cuisine, was released at the grand opening.
The Taipa Village Cultural Association continues its mission to showcase the work of both local and international artists within Taipa Village.
