Background
Launched in conjunction with the 2011 City of Sydney Chinese New Year events, CHINA HEART derives its inspiration from artefacts in the Powerhouse Museum Collection. These objects, digitised and integrated into a contemporary love story, play a vital role in China Heart’s journey of discovery.

During the Year of the Rabbit celebrations (January 28 – February 13, 2011) China Heart included a display of the real world artefacts at the Powerhouse Museum, a photographic installation in Albion Place and a performance of Chinese Opera at the Chinese Garden of Friendship, Darling Harbour.

China Heart continues to entertain and enthral audiences today.
