Intangible cultural heritage is not only something from the past but could be very much alive. To conserve and rejuvenate fast-disappearing Chinese craftsmanship, K11 Craft & Guild Foundation (KCG) forges the connections between the East & West, Traditions & the Contemporary, and Virtuality & Reality. With innovative mindsets and approaches, we re-interpret heritage through digital presentations and immersive experiences, as well as communicating it to the public with artistic application and collaboration.
