2019年CRI 第二届一带一路中非艺术展在津巴布韦开幕

The second edition of the Belt and Road Afro-Sino Art Exhibition kicked off at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe with 120 pieces of art from China and Africa on display.

Running under the theme: "South Meeting the East: A Tale of Two Communities", the exhibition displays paintings depicting¹ the African and Chinese people as well as their diverse cultures.

Chinese ambassador to Zimbawbe Guo Shaochun says the exhibition is part of the efforts to enhance People-to-people exchanges among different cultures, a topic that was addressed by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the second Belt and Road Forum².

"In his speech, President Xi Jinping in particular elaborated on People-to-people exchanges and pledged to focus on deepening cooperation and quality of development in this area. This has set a clear direction for us to carry out cultural exchanges under the framework of the 'Belt and Road Initiative'."

Guo adds that efforts are being made to build a Chinese Cultural Centre in Zimbabwe in the near future to further promote cultural exchange and deepen bilateral³ friendship.

Benson Dube is the Principal Director in Zimbabwe's Ministry⁴ of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation. He says the cultural exchange program helps local Zimbabwean artists reach out to the outside world.

"I gratefully commend them for this vision and effort of networking our artists. It enhances their visibility, entrenches⁵ them in international cooperation and indeed widens their market. This platform helps to create opportunities for the artists from both the South and East to interrogate⁶ parallels in their working processes. In addition artists can exchange information on global discourse⁷."

The Afro-Sino Cultural Exchange Association is one of the organizers of the event. Franklin Asira is the head of the association and says culture is a universal language to help different people understand each other better.

"Cultural specialties⁸, we would like to use them as a language to enhance the people of China and people of Africa coming together."

This is the first time the exhibition has come to Africa after its inaugural⁹ edition in China last year.

Besides the arts exhibition, an art forum will also be launched.

第二届“一带一路”非中艺术交流展在津巴布韦国家美术馆开展，本次艺术展展出了来自中国和非洲各国的120余幅作品。

本届展览的主题为“南东相遇：两种文明的故事”，描绘了非洲和中国人民的生活，展示了文化的多样性。

中国驻津巴布韦大使郭绍春表示，“一带一路”非中艺术交流展的举办有助于增进中津人民的相互了解，实现习主席所倡导的民心相通。

“习主席在第二届‘一带一路’国际合作高峰论坛主旨演讲中特别强调了民间往来，并且承诺会深化这一领域的合作和高质量发展。这也为我们在‘一带一路’倡议下深化文化交流指明了方向。”

郭绍春还表示，中方正致力于在津巴布韦建设中国文化中心，以进一步促进文化交流，深化两国友谊。

本杰·杜贝是津巴布韦青年、体育、艺术和产业部总司长。他表示，文化交流项目可以让津巴布韦的艺术家走向世界。

“我非常感谢他们为扩大我们艺术家的关系网所做的努力。这提升了他们的知名度，加强了国际合作，扩大了他们的市场。这一平台为非中艺术家提供了相互交流的机会。此外，艺术家还可以在全球范围内分享信息。”

中非文化交流协会是本次活动的组织者之一。协会主席富兰克林·阿斯拉表示，文化是一种全球性语言，有助于不同的民族更好地了解彼此。

“我们希望将文化特殊性作为一种语言来使用，以加强中非人民的交流。”

继去年在中国首届举办展览后，这是首次在非洲举办展览。

除了艺术展览之外，还将举办艺术论坛。
