Capturing the heritage of Gu embroidery on film
Print Edition
An exhibition of Gu embroidery opened in the Du鈥檚 Mansion in Songjiang Old Town to commemorate the annual Cultural Heritage Day.
It features photography works by grassroots shutterbugs Gu Weiqiang, Hu Weiguo and Shen Jianxin. More than 30 photos trace the development of the ancient style of Gu embroidery.
Gu embroidery is one of Songjiang鈥檚 most famous 鈥渋ntangible cultural heritage,鈥 but the stories behind its most famous practitioners are rarely brought to light.
The three photographers spent two months learning about embroidery and the people who create it. They used scenic garden settings for some of their shots.
The project required a focus on three women of different ages who were Gu embroidery artists. They were chosen from 20 applicants.
鈥淲e want to tell the world that the tradition is not forgotten,鈥 said Hu, one of the three photographers. 鈥淓mbroidery has been passed on for generations.鈥
