In November 2024 Haikou hosts the Hainan International Dongpo Cultural Creative Expo, devoted to culture and creativity in the name of Su Dongpo, the great poet and calligrapher who lived in exile on the island. Within the fair the World United Design Summit is held, bringing together designers, architects and scholars from several countries.
Eugenio Lanzetta is among the speakers. His talk, "Culture: more than heritage. It's our compass", brings China and Italy, calligraphy and the Renaissance into dialogue, and proposes culture as a bridge to the future between art, sustainability and innovation. He then takes part in the round table on how design can reshape social life.
