From February 3rd to 16th, 2019, local time, the Latvia University Confucius Institute  launched a special paper-cut exhibition – “The Pig Year Paper-cutting Exhibition”. 2019 is the Year of the Pig in China. This paper-cut exhibition is also to celebrate the arrival of the Chinese New Year. This  “The Pig Year Paper-cutting Exhibition” was made by Autore Karina Jermaka (Karina), who regards China as her second hometown. She is obsessed with paper-cutting when she is studying in China.

The exhibition includes works such as “Four Seasons Peace”, “Good luck”, “Good luck and make more money”, “Lively Spring Festival”, “Year of the Pig”, “Happy Chinese New Year” and other works. The theme of the work is to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The zodiac cut by “Good luck” and “Good luck and make more money” – the image of the pig is very cute and lifelike. The dragon dance activity depicted in “Lively Spring Festival” is vivid.
