Telling the tales of a thousand Buddhas
Print Edition
An exhibition about the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang opened to the public yesterday at the Duoyun Bookstore on the 52nd floor of the Shanghai Tower.
The exhibition, telling stories of the murals and charity teams who work on them will last through January 19.
It displays the works of three projects by Duoyun Cultural Development Co, a subsidiary of publishing giant Shanghai Century Publishing Group.
In the first project, a team made clay plates similar to the grotto walls with the soil they collected from the Daquan River and sand from the mountain. They used mineral dyes to draw murals in a similar style as Dunhuang ones which “move” in a seven minute animated video.
For the second project, three designers created sets of fashionable clothes. The third project focuses on pictures of the Yulin Grottoes, sister to the Mogao Grottoes.
More than 600 small Buddhas made by children who visited Dunhuang are placed on the wall with some paintings they drew.
Visitors can buy products related to the murals with all profits going to charity programs. They can also created their own artworks with materials provided at the scene.
