This exhibition features a black-and-white photography series by internationally acclaimed Malaysian artist Harry Woo Hong Sang. Centred around the old tea houses in Sichuan, the exhibition vividly captures the historical imprints of the old tea houses, their unique atmosphere, and the rich human stories they embody, all through Harry’s lens. This series has earned him the esteemed title of Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS), UK.
“Steeped in Time: Old Tea Houses Through the Lens of Harry Woo” is more than just a visual feast — it is a conversation about cultural memories, human connection, and historical legacy. This exhibition introduces audiences to the tea house culture of Sichuan, China. It also prompts reflection on how these cultural spaces, filled with human warmth and collective memories, can be preserved in the face of urbanisation.
Through the lens of Harry Woo, we experience the unique charm of old tea houses and rediscover the human warmth and connections they embody.
This exhibition aspires to offer audiences cultural nourishment and warm inspiration, encouraging a reimagining of how tradition and modernity can coexist harmoniously.
