Everything here has been forgotten, lost, or unclaimed…Are you here to look for something of yours? 🫴✨ 這裡是失物認領中心。所有的物件都是被遺忘的、丟棄的，或是無人認領的。而你，是來尋找什麼的？ In this workshop, @fivghost will lead us to use lost & found as a prompt —to explore the things that slipped away… tangible or intangible a photo, a key, a habit, a promise, a dream, a feeling, a version of yourself you didn’t know you were saying goodbye to. 這次工作坊以「失物認領」為引，探索那些更難以言說的失去。一張照片。一把鑰匙。一個習慣。一個承諾。一個夢。一種情緒。一段不知何時已悄悄告別的自己。 No resolution required. No need to make peace, find meaning, or “move on.” Come with whatever feels true to you. 🫧 Through drawing/writing/collage, you’ll translate your lost & found into one piece ✧ We’ll scan + print everything using RISO (black + green) 🖤💚 Then fold + bind into a collective zine 📓 Each person leaves with a copy: a small shared archive of what we’ve lost, held, misplaced, and remembered 🧷 你將透過繪畫、文字或拼貼，把屬於你的失物認領化為一件作品。我們會掃描並以 Risograph 印刷機，用 黑色與綠色 印製每一件作品，再一起折疊、裝訂成一本集體小誌。 每位參與者都能帶一本回家——一份共同的失物認領紀錄，收錄我們在人生起伏中的各種得與失、喜與憂。 ✦ workshop details ✦ 📅 May 16th, SAT, 2–5 PM 👥 8 (each person create one page) 💸 $65 (all fee goes to support the artist and the sustain our tiny space) ℝ𝕊𝕍ℙ 𝕋ℍℝ𝕆𝕌𝔾ℍ 𝕃𝕀ℕ𝕂 𝕀ℕ 𝔹𝕀𝕆 ✦ Flow✦ Workshop duration is 3 hours, from 2pm-5pm.

“Spring” has always been a symbol of hope—a return, a beginning. Yet every year, as the flowers bloom, the question lingers: Has spring really come? 「春」始终是希望的象征。但每当花期如约而至，那个疑问总在心底轻响：春天真的来了吗？ This 10-minute project is built on words by @akaa.null , music by @cottonseed_studio , and an animation by @fivghost . We captured that specific unease of rebirth and kept it within these 10 minutes. A real beautiful piece growing out of @nowplacesf . 这是由 @akaa.null 的诗、@cottonseed_studio 的音乐、以及 @fivghost 的动画构成的 10 分钟作品。我们把那份复苏带来的不安，留在了这 10 分钟里。一个从 @nowplacesf 生长出来的，真切美丽的作品。 “Something Spring 春的” Coming to all platforms on May 1st. 🎧 5月1日，全网上线。敬请期待。🎧 #spring #interdiciplinaryart #newmusiccomingsoon #poetryandmusic #digitalart

Ice and Fire Collective zine riso-printed at @nowplacesf Color: cornflower, bright red, yellow and black In our second riso zine workshop, we explored the idea of opposites. When two forces collide, would they create tension, dissonance, harmony, or freedom? 冰与火，是大自然中彼此对立的两股力量。它们看似无法相容、无法共生——但这真的是必然的吗？ 我们的生活也同样被各种相反的事物包围着：光与影、安静与喧闹、想象与现实、计划与意外…… 你是否体验过矛盾的情绪？是否曾同时拥有截然不同的念头？当你被困在正与反之间，你会如何前行？ 当两股对立的力量相遇，它们会擦出混乱、紧绷，还是孕育出新的和谐与自由？ #zine#risograph#riso#printing#smallpress#chinatownsf Artists @vyprism @chlschn @kellly_ma @oshetart @concernedfrog @jyjyjyi0110 @elise.garciaa Cover art: @fivghost

We made a beautiful little zine at @nowplacesf on a riso-graph printer today~! We are so grateful for our friends who participated and shared their personal take on the Chinese concept of “不息” (means “an unceasing force”). We hope we all find a resilient strength within, just as the wild grass that regrows in the breeze of spring.
