During Babel LeLab exhibition in Hangzhou, I created an environment with a round table embroidery session, where audience was invited to embroider their own Nüshu characters. On the fabric canvas, besides choices of threads, there were printed conversational excerpts from the time I spent in the village with the local women. These paper strips are there to trigger discussions about Nüshu while the audience spent time together embroidering.

The Nüshu tapestry can be hung from the ceiling or presented on a standing structure. On the backside of the fabric, the characters become more abstract and a language on its own.
