2025-12-30   

I used to be busy on weekends and my child wanted to go out and play, so I couldn't balance both. Now there's a small theater just around the corner, which is really convenient, "said Ms. Wu, a merchant around the Women's and Children's Theater with joy. This landmark of Shenzhen's child friendly city, built on the Women and Children's Building, carries a lot of parent-child laughter with its "small yet beautiful, specialized yet refined" space. Huang Ziyi, the director of the theater, introduced: "This year, we launched the 'Occasional Fun' Parent Child Art Week, a series of activities organized by the creators of embedded public cultural spaces. It incorporates intangible cultural heritage puppetry, modern puppet workshops, and other content, and is very popular among children. Since 2023, Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, has pioneered the concept of 'embedded new public cultural spaces' nationwide, and has identified a total of 105 characteristic spaces. The project has established a unique public cultural service supply network by providing various cultural spaces in shopping malls, office buildings, and even subway stations within the jurisdiction through multiple channels such as signing contracts, listing, and event delivery. For existing cultural centers and other facilities, Futian District innovatively practices the "one museum, one policy" approach, forming distinctive operational paradigms in themed venues such as music, dance, intangible cultural heritage, and dream workshops. I used to love guqin very much, but I didn't expect to be exposed to intangible cultural heritage right at my doorstep now. ”Ms. Li, who lives in Futian Street, shared. This Futian Cultural Center Intangible Cultural Heritage Theme Hall is not simple. It is a comprehensive platform that integrates intangible cultural heritage exhibition, education, communication, and experience through social operation and multi-party cooperation. Despite having an area of less than 3000 square meters, facilities such as intangible cultural heritage exhibition halls, workshops, libraries, and small theaters are readily available. Gu Dandan, director of the Futian District Public Culture and Sports Development Center, introduced, "The 'one venue, one strategy' policy emphasizes both institutional breakthroughs and institutional innovation. Such innovation enables venues to truly achieve 'constant operation, constant novelty, and frequent use', effectively enhancing citizens' sense of cultural gain and happiness." In another music themed Futian Cultural Center, there is a 300 square meter exhibition hall hidden. The exhibition of works by painter Yan Guoxing and his students has attracted many nearby residents who are interested in art to come and enjoy. Yan Guoxing told reporters that there is no need to pay for using the exhibition hall, just apply for an appointment. We will launch the 'Citizen Shared Exhibition Hall' plan in 2024. The total shared area is 2482.94 square meters, with 9 exhibition halls recruiting partners from social organizations and individuals. We hope to leverage social forces to participate in public cultural services through resource exchange and other means, achieving a win-win situation of socialization and public welfare. Here, everyone can become a disseminator of culture and a practitioner of creativity. ”Gu Dandan said. In Futian, Shenzhen, reform and innovation are continuously stimulating the vitality of public cultural services and meeting the growing spiritual and cultural needs of the people. (New Society)
