Her Text 

“Her text” project is centered around a new female-led conceptual dictionary. Exploring its own community built for communication and interaction towards the existing language system through collecting, writing, typography, workshop, and publishing. The community continues to collect voices from different women and create words for each voice through typography design according to the structure of existing “Nvshu” scripts (A secret language used only among women in ancient China). These voices/words will be centered around how to break the BOUNDARY of women with a feminist + emotional lens.
