Here is what the Xiamen wave will do:
The ‘FIND IT’ challenge was conceived and realised by the Wave Arthouse and a group of illustrators led by Jeroen as a fun way of encouraging people to visit one of the remaining old quarters of Xiamen, and to view the work of local illustrators. Their creations will be on show at selected venues in the locale as well as in the Arthouse. The event will also provide an opportunity for local creative people to develop and show their own work and everyone can take part in several competitions also being organised. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS
‘FIND IT’ is a community based art event and everyone is invited to take part.
The labyrinth of corridors, alleyways and walks between Xiahe Lu and Zhongshan Lu, Lujiang Dao and Siming Beilu reveal an area rich with the sights scents and sounds of Xiamen’s past, a reminder of the way things once were and indeed still are, for a few remaining local stalwarts.
The area around the Wave Arthouse used to be important for banking and gold trading after Zhongshan Lu was developed as a commercial zone in 1928. Recently the film ‘Crazy Racer’ was shot in Zhenbang Lu—the corner house featured on the map appears in the film. Take time to examine some of the local buildings, particularly the second storey upwards, and you will gain valuable clues about past usage.
During your walk you will encounter the excitement of local street markets, stallholders selling all manner of foods including fruits, local delicacies, clothing and brick-a-brac, as well as fresh fish and meat. Please bear in mind that this is an authentic experience, life as it is lived by ordinary everyday people. Try some of the local produce.
