the china academy of art recently launched the "one leaf weaves autumn" initiative, featuring the performance art piece falling leaf rabbit and the autumn leaf art festival at the jiuzhai beautiful china resort in jiuzhaigou county, southwest china's sichuan province.
from hangzhou, east china's zhejiang province, two giant rabbits made of leaves traveled 2,670 kilometers over six days, arriving at the resort. the festival is showcasing 13 large installations created from leaves collected during the journey, reflecting the region's natural beauty and cultural traditions.
since 2016, the academy has celebrated autumn with the autumn leaf art festival, creating connections through art. this year's project underscores a shared nostalgia and romance tied to the season. the autumn leaf art festival will run until february 12, 2025.
