Audience Invitation | The Reality Here and Female Creativity
Jin Yiyi × Duan Yu — Talk & Live Set
The Sound of Wildness Vol.1
🗓 Sunday, Feb 8, 19:30
📍 Making Space, Guangzhou
This evening is built around a simple but difficult question: how can singing stay with reality, without turning reality into a symbol?
In the “warm inertia” of everyday life, and in the noise of workshops, factories, and urban villages, music can be more than expression. It can be a method: to listen, to witness, to resist being spoken for, and to hold what is often forced into silence.

@springorabbit , The Sound of Wildness invites two musicians whose positions are very different, yet whose attention is equally grounded in lived experience:
Jin Yiyi
@zoeychild writes from the fissures of industrial landscapes and social structures. She works with metaphor, distance, and precision—letting overlooked imprints of existence surface through melody, and turning private feelings into something we can share without simplification.
Duan Yu brings a field-honed practice shaped by migration and labour. From assembly-line work to community music, and from collaborating with the New Workers’ Art Troupe to founding Jiu Ye Band in 2016 (China’s first band dedicated to singing about women, female workers, and children’s rights), her singing is not only a voice—it is a container for collective life, a way to transform suppressed cries into a form of healing and action.

Two creative methodologies will meet and reflect each other:
— the observer’s poetic distance
— the activist’s working method
