An international touring art exhibition portraying the story of an ancient Chinese meditation practice is set to arrive in Newcastle this month.

Falun Gong practitioners suffered severe Human Rights abuses in China during the communist regime and the practice has also been the subject of strict Government-led internet censorship during recent years.

The persecution of Falun Gong started shortly after the Great Firewall of China was constructed and the practice has since been at the top of the list of banned search terms in China.

The exhibition, titled ‘The Art of Truth, Compassion, Tolerance’, will open on 17 July and it will run until 15 August.

‘The Art of Truth Compassion Tolerance’ will be exhibited at Curtis Mayfield House (above WHQ Club), Carliol Square, Newcastle Upon Tyne.  Please note that the exhibition is open Saturdays and Sundays only.
