Students had already learned about Cai (the arts made with gun powder). I showed Mandala in the PAM collection room telling them that we will see the Mandala art created by Cai. I showed the video “Return to darkness” located in the gallery next to the gift shop, students were mesmerized by it, and when I explain the art next to the video is the art showed in the video, they wowed and commented that it is beautiful.
Every time I give tour, I learn more about Cai’s works through students.
