Paper long abstract:

As a practical discipline, visual anthropology has been increasingly applied as a methodology to the practice of the revitalization of village culture. We held an exhibition of individual images and videos in a village of the Bulang ethnic group in southwest China, trying to present the twenty-year changes of an ethnic village from the perspectives of internal and external interweaving. In the process of arranging the exhibition, the active participation of the villagers has given us a great inspiration in the form and idea of the exhibition. At the same time, through the exhibition, the villagers' personal memory and cultural consciousness are awakened. The old people trace the past and the young generation’s cultural consciousness are aroused.
