Deze zomer heeft de journaliste Peng Yining van de China Daily contact gezocht met Simone Haak en Joke Doedens van Galerie Terra Delft. Zij wilde een aantal artikelen schrijven over keramiek en de relatie tussen Oost en West met de keramiek als onderwerp. Omdat Galerie Terra Delft sinds 2011 het doorlopende project Terra in China – China in Terra organiseert raakten zij met elkaar in gesprek.
U kunt de verschillende artikelen door Peng Yining lezen op de site van China Daily via de volgende link:

Delft is like my second home
By Li Jiansheng: Holland’s ceramics center could help China market its ceramics to the world
There is so much we could learn from Delft. I first visited the city in 2003 with Chinese officials doing research for the first international ceramics fair in Jingdezhen the following year.
