April 4 until May 10, 2023

Unique artworks by handicapped orphans from a countryside orphanage in China will be exhibited in the Rock Café gallery from April 6. The artists were profiled in a Tomáš Etzler’s film “Heaven”.

The idea to bring these artifacts from China to the Czech Republic was born several years ago. Despite numerous obstacles, the works finally arrived to Prague (via Beijing, Chiang Mai in Thailand and Hamburg). They will be shown in the Rock Café gallery until the beginning of May.

Er-bao paints due to her handicap with her mouth and feet. Da-bao, a quadriplegic, embroiders tapestries and assembles mosaics with her mouth. Both artists were abandoned as infants and raised in a catholic orphanage run by Sister Wang.

The opening takes place on April 6 at18:00 when the artworks will be offered for sale. The earnings will go to the artists and to Sister Wang’s charity. She continues to provide medical care for disabled children and cares for the elderly, poor and abandoned in rural China.
