The “How Words Fly – Exhibition of Donations from Local Writers” will kick off at the House of Macao Literature on 25 June.
Specially curated by the House of Macao Literature, which is under the city’s Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC), the exhibition aims to promote the development of Macau’s literature, showcase the power of local literature and pay tribute to donors from all walks of life by showcasing a rich variety of Macau’s precious literary heritage.
The exhibition will feature more than 90 pieces/sets of selected works from the House of Macao Literature’s collection donated by Macau writers and literary publishers – including manuscripts, newspaper clippings, books and calligraphic works.
The exhibition will also give a special introduction to several Macau writers born between 1922 and 1939, including Hu Xiao Feng, Lao Wa, Iau Chi Vai, Ngai Yick Kin (Tao Li), Lei Kun Teng and Ling Ling – all these have been pioneers in local literature.
