IS IT NORMAL TO CRY WHILE WRITING?
Workshop (calligraphy of tears)

Addressing the limitation of our current language, Jennifer conducted a workshop providing participants with a new method to generate a new system of medium in the form of poem for expression.
The participants explored 2 key actions through the artist-designed copybook (15 editions): from tracing to mapping. Through tracing, text and image fuse into a commonly known linguistic understanding. Through mapping, the language becomes open to arbitrary subjective interpretations.
Jennifer Yue Yuen Yu was born in Hong Kong and is currently based in Germany, studying M.F.A. Public Arts and New Artistic Strategies at Bauhaus University, Weimar. Yue’s practices are performance, interactive installation and printmaking. Her focus is to use site-specific symbols to discuss land politics and diaspora.
