Held in Binh Duong province, on the grounds of
Phu An Bamboo Village, approximately 125 people from over 20 countries gathered together to experience the wonders of bamboo and learn from global experts on various aspects of this versatile natural resource. The most spontaneous build came as a result of the creative sculptors,
The Myth Makers, Andy Moerlein & Donna Dodson (USA). We designed a representation of the legendary bird of Vietnamese mythology, the Chim Lac! This creation was adorned with festive lights in honor of
World Bamboo Day, as we marched alongside the Mid-Autumn Festival with children galore! Singing and shouting of "BAMBOO" echoed through the bamboo groves; it was magical. See the
video produced by Bryan McClelland.
It was our pleasure to collaborate with an international team of artists to realize this project. Thank you to everyone who made it possible: Susanne Lucas, Martin Mortera Abdi, Peter Van Lengen, Nguyen Manh Tuan, My Hanh Diep, Edgar Banasan, Michel Abadie and so many more!
