China Photo Exhibition on Show
August 7, 2009
A stunning new photographic exhibition borne of over 10 years work telling the story of the people of China is going on show in Aberdare.
Photographer Rhodri Jones tells the story of the nation in a thought provoking and informative way, highlighting the day-to-day problems they face, their often desperate living conditions.
Accompanying his book ‘Made in China’ showed in the International Photo Festivals of China, Holland and Italy as well as other venues in both the UK and abroad, “GO! Internal migration in the People’s Republic of China” is on show in the Cynon Valley Museum and Gallery.
Mr Jones explained: “Over the last 25 years China has experienced a period of unprecedented economic growth. A by-product of which has been an unbelievable internal migration. During this time, according to official estimates, more than 200 million people have moved with as many again likely to be affected in the future.
GO! Internal migration in the People’s Republic of China” goes on show at the Cynon Valley Museum & Gallery from August 15th to October 3rd 2009. Entrance is free. The gallery is open from Monday to Saturday 9am to 4.30pm. For further details visit www.cvmg.co.uk or telephone 01685 886729.
