NUDE 博士。2018
I am looking for women to lend their hands in a group sewing circle developing an embroidered Qipao. This is an opportunity to engage in discussion on the contemporary place of women in China. In both Chinese and Western tradition embroidery has been a group activity; as much an opportunity to produce garments and decoration as it is to share and discuss. The garment will make use of QR codes. By using QR codes participants are invited to extend this discussion beyond this intimate circle and into the broader sphere.
我希望寻找一些女性共同组成缝纫小组来共同制作一件刺绣旗袍。这次活动也是一次探讨中国当代女性地位的机会。无论中西方传统，刺绣一直以来都是一项集体活动，如同织布或者制作工艺品一样，都是分享和讨论的一个过程。这件旗袍将会利用二维码邀请参与者加入讨论，以将讨论推向更广阔的范围。
As women’s positions as the head of the home are shifting, traditional skills such as needlework are being replaced by the value of modern education. How does the role of a woman get re-invented? How do we negotiate the conflicting aspirations of career and education with the traditional role of being a mother?
由于女性在家庭中主内的角色在变化，刺绣和缝纫等传统手工被现代教育所带来的新价值观所取代。女性这个角色又在怎样被重新定义？我们怎样去协调传统母亲角色的教育志向、职业理想，与家庭风险之间的冲突。
No sewing experience is necessary, only enthusiasm!
无论是否有缝纫经验，只要对此有热情都欢迎参加！
Dinner and drinks will be provided.

This sewing circle will form part of a three-month project titled Nûde 博士, which explores the misinterpretation of highly-educated women in China. This work will be exhibited in both Shanghai and Perth, Australia. All profits from the collaborative garment will be donated to EGRC (Educating Girls from Rural China). Participants in the project will receive a photobook documenting their contribution.
这次工作坊也是一个持续三个月的艺术项目《Nûde 博士》的一部分，这个艺术项目探索了围绕在中国受高等教育的女性曲解。该项目将会在中国上海与澳大利亚珀斯展出，合作完成作品的所有获利将捐赠给“乡村女学生教育基金会”。项目参与者将获赠记项目影集。
