As curator of Friday Late Program, Bethan Johnson spoke highly of Chinese artists and designers for their creative thinking and design in expressing their reflections on the world. "As a museum, we are really interested in arts and designs coming out of China in the fields timely to speak about it because all of changes are happening in China, particularly thinking about how it is repositioning itself in a kind of globalized world", said Bethan.
Xiang Xiaowei, Chinese Minister Counselor for Culture of the Chinese Embassy in UK, regarded the performance as a landmark to present Chinese design and cultural values. He emphasized,"We should not just simply take it as a fashion design, but we have seen its combination of new ideas in relating to mask, design, music and fashion itself. Most important thing is the idea of protecting our environment and endangered species. I think that is really the key to understand the values of new China now as it presents".
