"The Last Nomads: Photographs from Inner Mongolia by A Yin" Exhibition
Rubin Museum of Art
This event has ended.
Mongolian photographer A Yin was born with a mission to let his people be heard. They are the last remaining nomadic tribe in China, the Wu Zhu Mu Xin, and have become A Yin’s source of inspiration, while he has become their advocate, exposing to the rest of the world the ancient lifestyle to which they still cling. Comprised of images captured over ten years, The Last Nomads: Photographs from Inner Mongolia by A Yin displays a striking visual account of daily life in the Inner Mongolian highlands: from the labors of migration to the intimacies of kinship. A Yin’s photographs demonstrate both his innate artistic talent and his sensitivity in documenting and displaying the inner world of his tribesmen.
