As the International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations approaches, the Xiling Seal Engraver's Society from Zhejiang province will hold the Mutual Learning Among Civilizations With A Shared Future exhibition at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

This exhibition explores the global history of seals, highlighting traditional Chinese seal engraving's role as an artistic and cultural bridge between civilizations. Artists from the Xiling Seal Engraver's Society have created graphic seals inspired by elements unique to all 193 UN member states, presenting diversity through the ancient art form.

Each intricately designed seal echoes Chinese civilization while embodying a universal aesthetic shared across cultures. The exhibition offers visitors a vivid experience of how seal engraving connects tradition and modernity, fostering dialogue between the East and the West.
