田野上的青春 | 大元社的夏天

毕业于中国美术学院的90后青年周燕，与先生刘休都在乡村长大。2015年的一次回乡探亲让他们决定留在家乡，并用艺术改变乡村。他们创办了大元社艺术文化交流中心，免费为乡村儿童提供艺术教育。目前，大元社已覆盖八千余名乡村儿童，举办了超三百场活动。这个夏天，在露天的广场和草地上，戏剧艺术节“一个永夜的传说”为孩子们打造了一个梦想的舞台。

Zhou Yan, born in the 1990s, graduated from China Academy of Art. She and her husband Liu Xiu, both grew up in the countryside. In 2015, after returning to their hometown to visit their relatives, they decided to stay in their hometown, hoping to change the countryside with art. They established the Dayuan Art Center to provide free art education for rural children. Now Dayuan Community has served more than 8000 rural children and held more than 300 activities. This summer, in the open square and on the grass, the theatrical art festival "The Legend of the Eternal Night" provided a stage for local children. These children created their own choreographed dances, dramas, their own designed costumes and props, making their artistic dream come true.
