Wu Wenguang & Folk Memory Project
We are filmmakers, dancers, visual artists, theatre makers, writers, peasants, students, all coming together for the „Folk Memory Project“. In early 2020, the Corona Virus started spreading rapidly and widely, not only to the lungs but also to the human hearts. We asked the members of the „Folk Memory Project“ to keep filming their daily lives wherever they were. We called it „Riding through 2020“. This is how we have been riding through 2020: Our activites were Filming in the villages, Sharing & communicating with the group / “Email-group,” a daily communication among the members / Disseminating to the public by social media / Online Sundays: Group yoga & book reading / and a “Reading Raw Footage” workshop. We are ready to ride through the whole 2020. We are not alone. Always a group. We will always take on any challenge together.
