While events to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake are being announced all over the country, particularly heartfelt action is taking place in Sichuan, the site of the tragedy.
In addition to
memorials,
mass weddings,
construction of museums, and
development of tourism sites, four local photographers have come together to create
Unforgettable: One Year After, an exhibition that documents the disaster and ensuing trauma and road to recovery.
Photographers Zhu Cheng (
朱成), Qi Hong (
齐鸿), Yang Yong (
杨勇), and Leo Chen (
陈新宇)were all armed with cameras in the disaster areas during or immediately after the quake, and the images that they captured in the days and weeks as the scale of the tragedy unfolded will be on display to the public at the 82 Gallery.
The exhibit opens at 2 p.m. on Saturday and runs through June 21.
82 Gallery is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and is located on the second floor of the Chengdu Industrial Civilization Museum at 1 Jianshe Nan Lu (opposite the SM Plaza). 地址:
