Project Info:
Chinese glove puppetry has dwindled due to the rise of more interesting and contemporary forms
of entertainment. It has been reduced to just having a religious association because of tradition and old
practices. Originally, it was a popular entertainment due to the drama and cute designs of the puppets.
In an attempt to revive a fading tradition, the aim was to present the history and culture of chinese glove puppets in a way that is appealing to the younger generation. The dolls were redesigned as toy collectibles, representing famous character icons that were used in a puppet performance. An interactive iphone application was created for users to share their own collectibles or even create their own designs
within an online community.
