Offline intervention: coping Nüshu using the twisting sticks

Because in my previous interviews, many people talked about women’s space and the connection between women. So I did an offline intervention in a large shopping mall, I invited women to stitch together the shape of Nüshu with twisting sticks, during which they would communicate together, and they would ask me about the origin of Nüshu, and discuss the story of Nüshu together, I think it is a kind of bridge for people to connect with each other, so that women with different lifestyles can come together because of the same story.

In the process, I found that when they using the twisting stick to copy Nüshu characters, there were many strokes that were difficult for people to copy, such as a point.

I also received feedback, for example, that I could make some of the basic components of Nüshu characters into small puzzles for everyone to spell out the characters.
