The art exhibition Chinese Communist officials have been pressuring America
and Korean venues not to show has come to the twin cities.
Uncompromising Courage, is an exhibition of original works created by a group of
accomplished artists from around the globe.
Kunlun Zlang, a professor of art, was released from a Chinese forced labour camp
in 2001 after three months of psychiatric and physical torture.
Shortly after he collaborated with more than a dozen artists from around the
world who practise Falun Gong, to create the works in the exhibit.
Participants in the exhibit say that their goal is to expose what is happening
in China, inform the public and bring about change.
Uncompromising Courage is a tribute to the triumphant spirit of compassion and
forbearance that Falun Gong practitioners have demonstrated in the midst of pain
and anguish.
Falun Gong is an ancient Chinese meditation and exercise practice consisting of
five simple exercises and three basic principles of truthfulness, compassion and
forbearance.
Some twin cities residents practise Falun Gong at Soroptomist Park each Sunday
afternoon.
The Uncompromising Courage art exhibition is entirely original and exciting in
its intellectual and spiritual depth.
All Falun Gong activities are free of charge including the art exhibition which
can be visited from tomorrow until next Wednesday at Flinders Gallery, 693
Flinders Street, with an official launch evening tomorrow night at 6.30pm.
Further information about the exhibition and related topics can be obtained from
the website, www.falundafaartexhibit.net.
