Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, enjoys a pleasant climate that lives up to its title of the City of “Eternal Spring”. With a history of more than 2,400 years, today it has become the political, economical and cultural center of Yunnan.

One of the post- 2014 WWD events was held at Southwest Forestry University in Kunming City of Yunnan Province from March 27 to March 28, 2014. Nine Artists from around the world and three Chinese artists were invited to collaborate on a woodcarving project with a theme “Forest”.

The purpose of this project is two-fold. First, to enhance the appreciation of world wood culture in the academic field. Second, to promote the WWD concept “Wood is Good” through cross-cultural exchange in woodcarving.
