Description |
Nüshu: Where We Still Meet explores female friendship through Nüshu, the only known women’s script, originating from Jiangyong, Hunan, China. Embedded in Nüshu is a history of intimate and enduring connections between women. Drawing on her fieldwork in the Nüshu region, choreographer Kexin Huang brings personal observations into the work, reflecting on overlooked aspects of women’s lives. Within this context, practices such as laotong and zimei, translated as forms of sworn sisterhood, offered ways to express emotion and sustain mutual support. Through a duet interwoven with digital projection, the project explores how these connections extend across time and space. |
