Running from 13 - 27 October, the creative collaboration between Swarovski and Valli tells the story of the communities that live\u00a0along the Yangtze River in China.<\/p> <p>This extensive <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/fashion\/latest-news\/fashion-events\/leather-forever-discover-leather-behind-hermes-129195.html\">exhibition<\/a> features both photographs and short documentary films that portray the landscapes and people of the magnificent area.\u00a0Among them is Valli\u2019s documentation of the potters of Jingdezhen. Valli\u2019s photographs offer a glimpse into their lives and the Dragon Kiln, a 67 metre long furnace that is the last of its kind remaining.<\/p> <p>Another part of the exhibition reveals the tough journey nomadic tribes take up to the Geladangdong Massif, the source of the Yangtze. The nomads journey to the unforgiving source at 5000 metres above sea level just to find grass to feed their yaks.<\/p> <p>In conjunction with the Swarovski Waterschool, Valli aims to use his<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/travel\/now-or-never\/travel-news\/rimowa-f13-traces-history-heritage-129068.html\"> art form<\/a> as a positive medium to project the importance of clean, sustainable water sources.<\/p> <p><em>\u201cWe have a tendency to forget numbers, data\u2026but we remember what emotionally touches us. So instead of bombarding people with data and gloomy statistics\u2026 we wanted to make them aware of the beauty\u2026 to motivate them to act rather than discouraging them with guilt,\u201d<\/em> said Eric Valli<\/p> <p>Swarovski commissioned Valli to spend six months along the Yangtze River documenting the communities surrounding their Waterschool. The Swarovski Waterschool China is a non-profit organization that has been working with the Yangtze community since 2008. The school aims to help children learn about the importance of water and improve access to clean water and basic sanitation.<\/p> <p><em>Amanda Lim<\/em><\/p> <h2> <span>Read More:<\/span> <\/h2>
