The various Yue tribes can trace their history back to the first millennium AD. They’ve endured a lot throughout this time and almost vanished when their nation was slowly assimilated into the Han dynasty, but pockets of the Yue tribe remained, hidden high in the mountains. Here they held onto their rich history and past.
This ancient culture is however at risk once again of being assimilated, this time not by the Han Dynasty but by modern life. The goal of the Vietnam BaiYue tribal journey is to document the lives of these people. Capture the essence of who they are, their daily lives, their traditions, their smiles. While helping to raise more awareness about who they are.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_image=”228″ back_repeat=”repeat” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ back_size=”initial”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”90″ gutter_size=”3″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1561245327881{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_uppercase=””]Here is whats going to happen :[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]The intent of this project is to spend one month (*perhaps more) embedded with the BaiYue in the northern mountains of Vietnam.
During this time the goal is to capture photos and videos of these people. Record people of this tribe talking and telling stories about their past, record their various creation stories, myths and loar. Follow them on their daily routines of harvesting tea leaves, learn the secrets of their tea processing and preparation.
The secondary goal is to help teach English to the children and adults of this tribe. Along with this, also help this tribe get more media and exposure online about who they are, what they do, and get additional support to help sustain their way of life.
Along the way, photos of the journey will be posted online to generate additional exposure for them.
After the time embedded with this tribe. A room in Hanoi will be booked for a month. During this time the photos will be laid out into several books.
- Portraits of the BaiYue
- Life of the BaiYue
- Stories of the BaiYue
The videos clips that were captured will be given to the tribes used in promotion and marketing.
Depending on time, the video clips may also be edited together into a shorter video documentary of the journey and the people.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image media=”612″ media_width_percent=”100″ shadow=”yes” shadow_weight=”std” shadow_darker=”yes”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”50″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”5″ bottom_padding=”5″ back_image=”618″ back_repeat=”no-repeat” back_attachment=”fixed” parallax=”yes” overlay_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”80″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=”yes” position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1/1″ column_width_pixel=”900″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h6″ text_size=”h3″ text_transform=”uppercase” text_color=”color-xsdn”]This cant be done alone…[/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h1″]Here is where we need your sponsorship
