About the Event 关于活动

The artist Francis Alÿs, together with Yuko Hasegawa, curator of the exhibition “Francis Alÿs: La dépense”, went on a field trip in Inner Mongolia in 2017, and paid a visit to the Aoluguya Ewenki tribe in Genhe of Hulunbuir. Ewenki hunters, having lived for generations in the mysterious Aoluguya forest, dropped off their shotguns and walked out of the forest in 2003, launching a massive migration and relocation. A series of dramatic incidents that happened thereafter have drawn extensive attention and inspiring discussions.

Xie Yuanyuan, Associate Professor at the Department of Sociology, China Agricultural University, used to engage in long-time field investigations in Aoluguya, and published influential books in both Chinese and English. In this talk, she will, through the case study of Aoluguya Ewenki's ecological migration, explore the relevance between the responsibility of civilization and culture, bringing us a different cultural perspective and inspiring new thinking.

艺术家弗朗西斯·埃利斯与本展策展人长谷川祐子曾于2017年到内蒙古考察,并拜访了呼伦贝尔市根河市的敖鲁古雅——鄂温克族居住的部落。

敖鲁古雅是个充满神秘色彩的地方。2003年生活在这里的鄂温克猎民放下猎枪走出森林,进行了一场声势浩大的移民搬迁。随后发生了一连串的戏剧性事件,引起了些许的关注和探讨。

中国农业大学社会学系副教授谢元媛曾经在敖鲁古雅做过长期的田野调查,并出版了有分量的中英文专著。本次演讲中,她将以敖鲁古雅鄂温克生态移民事件为平台,来探讨文明的责任和文化选择之间的关联,在带给我们一种异文化视野的同时打开我们的一扇思考之门。
