Shenzhou-12 spacecraft carries CityU PhD student’s artwork to space

Liang Teng, PhD student of Arts Studies at the Faculty of Innovation and Design of the City University of Macau, joined the “Ode to Struggle” – the celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China Youth Calligraphy and Art Space Carrying Activities, which was co-organised by the China International Painting and Calligraphy Art Research Association. Liang’s Chinese-style painting is now on exhibition at the Yan Huang Art Museum in Beijing and is being archived by the organisers.

The launching ceremony of the spacecraft carrying project was held in Beijing in December 2019, followed by the nationwide nomination of young artists of Chinese-style calligraphy, painting, printmaking, or poetry to create art pieces. The design of each artwork should match the theme, and all final artworks have undergone various panel reviews. Liang’s painting and other final artworks took the journey with the Shenzhou-12 manned spacecraft and travelled in the space for three months. In September of the same year, the crew returned to Beijing and held a handover ceremony at the Aerospace Town.
