We will be joining Spill Paint Not Oil and Print Pals in a panel discussion on transnational anti-imperialism printmaking practices. Thank you @ma.i.yo and @multigalactic for the kind invitation. ◽️ Event Description Printmaking methods have historically held particular pertinence in anti-imperialist and decolonial struggles across Asia since the 20th century. The Modern Woodcut Movement in China for example notably led efforts to expand woodcutting as a quick and cheap means of disseminating nationalist messages against the onset of Japanese aggression and World War II. The movement gave rise to a renewed sense of artmaking as a populist praxis, art for not only the everyday and the collective, but also the anti-colonial and the autonomous. The movement’s work and thinking influenced a subsequent generation of leftist printmakers in post-war Asia. The Inter-Asia Woodcut Mapping collective has researched and written extensively on how the legacies of this influence can be seen in printmaking practices in East and Southeast Asia today. In conversation with Inter-Asia Woodcut Mapping (based in Hong Kong) and the printmaking collectives @printpals.nyc (based in NYC with collaborations in Taiwan) and Spill Paint Not Oil (based in the Twin Cities), this event will consider: How can the traditions of anti-imperialist printmaking methods be mobilized in our current moment? How might such creative practices provide help to further build transnational solidarities across Asia, the Asian diaspora, and beyond? What would it take, and what could be gained, in having academics engage seriously with the art of printmaking as a collaborative, knowledge-producing tool?  We welcome you to hear from, engage with, and make alongside our panelists in an event that aims to address these questions through open dialogue as well as a hands-on activity! ▫️ Location: Liberal Arts Engagement Hub (120 Pillsbury Hall, 310 Pillsbury Drive SE, Minneapolis) ▫️ Date & Time: April 2nd 2026 | 6–8pm ▫️ Event Registration: https://cla.umn.edu/ridgs/news-events/events/creative-methods-dialogue

🔹木刻也可以是陰柔的?🔹 🔸《她的木刻》新刊發佈會側記🔸 文字:Cecilia 《亞際木刻圖繪》編輯Krystie、阿峰趁「女人激氣!——版畫聯合展」舉行之際,發佈第六期小誌《她的木刻:木刻實踐的女性視角》,並邀請了「女人激氣!」策展人里林、Jiney,以及中大性別研究課程講師阿成(Nick)共同對談。超過三十人坐在版畫作品之間,討論一個看似「很過時」、卻始終未曾說清楚的問題:女性與木刻,如何談?又或,點解仍然應該談? 🔹激氣的起點:「她是某個男人的乜乜乜」 這期的主題源於一場木刻研討會。兩位編輯憶述,談到現代木刻運動時,在一串男性藝術家名字之後,終於出現了一個女性。她是夏朋。然而她的介紹只有一句:「她是胡一川的女朋友。」「作為一個女性,見到就很氣憤。即使在討論中出現女性藝術家,但卻被貼上標籤——她是某個男人的乜乜乜。」 差不多同一時間,Krystie讀到一本收錄近百位女性藝術家自畫像的出版,翻開介紹,仍是「蔡元培的女兒」、「某某先生之妻」。仿佛連女性的自畫像也要借助男性才能成立。正是這份積累的「激氣」,驅使了這一期的誕生。 阿峰補充,木刻的視覺語言傾向黑白分明、線條剛烈,很容易被定格為充滿戰鬥性,像是革命的象徵。然而他們發現,魯迅最初引入木刻的重要參照之一,恰恰是一位德國女性藝術家:珂勒惠支(Käthe Kollwitz)。她的作品觸及戰爭中的母子關係,充滿細膩的情感,卻在常在論述中一筆帶過。因此,兩位編輯希望在這一期小誌把目光轉向這一在木刻論述中長期不被看見的角色:女性。 🔸版畫是工具,也是一種關係 「女人激氣!」策展人之一,里林的木刻作品亦被收錄在小誌之中,談到女性與木刻之間的關係,她認為:「女性的版畫,跟所有社會議題都相關。」 在里林眼中,版畫從不單純是藝術創作,而是行動和連結的媒界:材料便宜、製作簡單,隨時可以把一個想法轉化成圖像。她提到,在這次展覽中的一場婦女木刻工作坊,題目只有一句:「什麼是壓垮你在家務勞動中的最後一根稻草?」原本以為只是學做美勞手工的家庭主婦們,在你一言我一語間,一邊吐苦水,一邊刻出了她們生命裏的重量。 另一位「女人激氣!」的策展人Jiney補充,版畫的能力和能量是兩回事。「技術能力可能並不嫺熟,但有很多生命經驗,等待被這種材料激活。」 🔹性別不只是身份,也是視角 香港中文大學性別研究課程講師阿成回應時,提出了一個關於本質主義的盲點:「當我們說『女性』的時候,是不是便將她本質化了?說『女性的木刻』,又是不是將木刻性別化了?」他認為,這個問題本身揭示了,我們對性別的理解太過狹窄,把性別只等同於身份。他引用女性主義歷史學家Joan Scott的《Gender as an Analytical Category》指出,性別不只是身份標籤,更是有力的分析視角,以及社會分配資源與權力的基本方式。他提出以性別作為分析視角,重新思考女性與木刻的關係。 阿成提出了兩個具體問題:「魯迅如何接收並表達珂勒惠支的影響?女性藝術家那種細膩、沒有邊界的視覺語言,與其政治性的關係為何?」 Krystie和阿峰回應,魯迅最初其實並沒有將木刻定義為政治宣傳工具,他更重視的是創作者的自覺,期望透過創作講出自己真正的處境。但到了延安時期,毛澤東《在延安文藝座談會上的講話》之後,確立了木刻服務於於革命的框架,把很多豐富的情感空間壓縮起來。 另外,Krystie亦提到,小誌中收錄的韓國民眾美術運動的女性木刻作品,經常捕捉微小的日常時刻,例如女工在工廠角落默默讀家書,一個地攤婦女被警察驅趕的瞬間。這跟「衝衝衝」的戰鬥性想像截然不同,卻同樣充滿力量。 點印社成員Denise則分享,設計本期封面時的困境。作為全女班,她們被委約呈現「女性與木刻」這主題,但又不想本質化女性,最後她們以「Feminism」字首「F」作自由聯想。聽過以上的討論,她反思:「我們是不是在迴避一些東西?若說女性是本質化,那不說女性,是否也是太本質化?」她沒有答案,只覺得這個問題值得一起繼續思考。 🔸陰柔性與延伸 臨近討論尾聲,阿成延伸回應關於本質主義的問題,以及魯迅被加諸很多並非本意的想像(戰鬥性、工人苦難、黑白分明的剛烈美學):「若將這些全放在一個男人身上,這個男人就很慘,他承受了很多或者根本不是他提出的。」 「陰柔性是一種比較可以延伸的東西。」阿成指出,這種延展性或恰恰是木刻實踐一直缺少的。當我們只想像魯迅作為源頭,對木刻的想像便會固定成一種平面、線性的敘事;當我們開始說女性、或使用性別視角時,便能重新正視那些被主流論述壓縮的情感、被大論述淹沒的生命時刻。「說女性的時候,反而可以更寬鬆,給我們更多空間去感受。」 兩位編輯最後總結道,做這期小誌時,自己對藝術與性別的討論亦大有增進。這一期小誌並非想給予一個完美答案,而是拋磚引玉,讓實踐者和研究者的聲音交疊,將問題繼續發酵。女性與木刻,這個問題仍然充滿未知,卻又蘊含無限可能。 —————— 如欲購買新一期小誌,請到帳號主頁填寫訂購表單 📝

「版畫穿牆」木刻工作坊 透過Tktk女性主義版畫者的連繫,我們認識到一眾菲律賓女性良心犯,因為種種倡議和行動而被栽贓下獄。 面對如此極端又戲劇性的處境,即使想同理、勉勵,言語卻有時無效;而牢中的日子繼續重複、單一。 不如一起雕刻影像信,由外頭的生活出發,分享難以得見的、多樣的畫面和線條,聊作陪伴? (即場完成的版畫將會帶到菲律賓的收件人手上。) 日期:14.3.2026 (六) 時間:15:00 - 18:00 地點:不二: 藝術空間 Noii.: art house 導師:Denise、Choki(點印社成員) 費用:全免 人數:14人 報名:https://forms.gle/vhkL66cQAbLhq1tG6 報名成功者將於活動前兩日收到電郵通知

「女性與木刻」如何談? 《她的木刻 —— 木刻實踐的女性視角》 新刊發佈會 在木刻實踐的歷史脈絡裡,女性創作者的身影往往是位處邊緣。然而,這次活動我們希望不只探討這一缺席現象,更想透過亞洲各地女性木刻創作者的實踐經驗,討論她們所處的真實處境,以及她們如何以創作回應社會、連結彼此,甚至開創出另些自我組織與行動的可能。 本場活動由《亞際木刻圖繪》編輯主持,內容將圍繞她們最新出版的《她的木刻:木刻實踐的女性視角》,分享小誌中來自日本、韓國、中國大陸、香港、菲律賓等地的多個個案。部分實踐者更將親臨現場,與我們交流她們的創作與思考。 日期:14.3.2026 (六) 時間:13:00 - 14:30 地點:不二 Noii 與談人:Krystie、峰(《亞際木刻圖繪》編輯) 回應人:李志成(中文大學性別研究課程講師) 報名:https://forms.gle/N7KjV3Ryt1vk7Gpz7 報名成功者將於活動前兩日收到電郵通知

亞際木刻圖繪 第六期 《她的木刻: 木刻實踐的女性視角》 Inter-Asia Woodcut Mapping Issue VI Her Woodcuts: Female Perspectives on Woodcut Practices 簡介: 談及木刻版畫,人們或許首先聯想到其剛勁的線條、強烈的對比,以及具批判性的傳統,也因此,這項媒介時常被賦予某種陽剛調性,或甚少將它與「她」的實踐聯繫起來。事實上,在亞洲現代木刻運動的脈絡中,男性藝術家的確較占據主導,女性的參與長期處於邊緣。即便在性別意識已逐步推進的今天,從女性視角或性別觀點回顧、重探這段歷史的研究,依然為數甚少。有見及此,本期《亞際木刻圖繪》嘗試以「她的視角」作為切入,梳理亞洲不同社會脈絡下女性創作者的實踐,從而審視那些在主流敘事中被遮蔽、異質而多樣的生命經驗,以及探討另一種自我組織與社會實踐的可能。 目錄: ・她的木刻:木刻實踐的女性視角 | 編輯部 ・招瑞娟:戰後日本大眾木刻運動中的華僑女藝術家 | 町村悠香 ・1980年代女性藝術家們的民眾版畫:以「杜侖」為中心的民眾美術與版畫運動 | 稻葉真以 ・如蕨的相處與連結:點印社訪談 | 吳君儀、李俊峰 ・女性主義書店中的女性主義木刻小組:魔女版畫訪談|狩野愛 ・刻作「她助之網」:木刻藝術家李平與里林的訪談|林閱 ・耕作由女性主義者主導的安全空間:TkTk女性主義版畫者的個案研究|蓋爾·維拉弗洛爾 ・印刻只爲看見:「刻木尋梅」的藝術行動實踐|刻木尋梅 出版:亞際木刻圖繪 版次:2026年 3月(第一版) 規格:27 x 20 cm、64頁(柯式印刷) 語言:中英雙語 🔗 文章試讀:/file/d/1AZLPHboVgnghP1oZngoOkMbAx0Ia8Vn6/view?usp=sharing 🔗 購買連結:https://forms.gle/vaXyE3agtFbUWvnz9 #zine #woodcut #interasiawoodcutmapping #femaleperspectives #herwoodcuts

Carving Dissensus is the third exhibition we co-organized this year. As a creative medium, woodcuts were widely spread throughout East Asia in early 20th century. At that time, artists have depicted social reality and combined their creations with the proletarian movements to engage in the radical process of social change. Almost a century later, although the modern woodcut movement has declined due to setbacks of the left, with issues such as globalization and capitalist expansion, this artistic practice seems to have revived in the contemporary context. Through 14 groups and individuals from East and Southeast Asia, Carving Dissensus attempts to present a rich picture of contemporary woodcut practices. The exhibition aims not only to show how artists use woodcuts to create inspiring visuals but also reveals their methods of self-organization, exploring how artists take art to unite people from different classes and make marginalized groups to be seen and listened to again. We are especially encouraged to have members of @eastasia.ecotopia @a3bcollective and @disprintkultur to travel all the way to exchange in Switzerland. Besides hosting workshops on woodcuts, zine-making, and solidarity to Palestine, they were guided to visit various cultural spaces and anarchist sites. We thank @espaceno.ir very much again for their tremendous hospitality in organizing and hosting us.

The documentary clip from the Sabah exhibition and exchange trip that @mapping_woodblock and @pangrok_sulap ran over the summer is finally ready. Big thanks to everyone who took part in the program, and to @rixkenddy_2708 and @_renna.k for filming and editing this amazing video! We hope these lovely little moments keep reminding us of the friends we made, what we learned, and the things that touched us — and give us a push as we head back to work. Till next time!
