尤尼花園工作坊
「尤尼花園」是一個以女性為對象的參與式拼貼工作坊。活動從前期研究中發現的社會與文化議題開始。這些議題提供了背景脈絡，但不會決定每位參與者的故事。相反地，我們邀請每位參與者探索屬於自己的個人敘事。
工作坊將從三個主要問題開始：
- 在成長過程中，妳被教導要成為什麼樣的女性？
- 妳認為那個形象是從何而來？
- 那個形象中的哪些部分是妳想保留的？哪些部分是妳想放下的？
我們也會根據在地研究與交流中發現的主題，加入其他問題。
討論結束後，每位參與者會收到一份由藝術家所提供的外陰形狀圖像模板。參與者將利用雜誌及其他在地印刷材料，挑選並剪下與自身記憶和經驗有所連結的圖像、文字、色彩與圖案，再將這些片段排列在圖像內部及周圍，創作出屬於自己的視覺故事。
我們不要求參與者創作一幅「正確的」女性形象。外陰形狀的圖像將成為一個框架，讓每位女性表達自己如何理解自身的身體、身分認同與生活。創作作品的過程本身，就是讓自己的聲音得以被看見的一種方式。
工作坊的最後，參與者將受邀分享自己的作品，並聆聽彼此的故事。在取得每位參與者同意的前提下，將完成的作品可以共同呈現。
Yoni Garden Workshop
Yoni Garden is a participatory collage workshop for women. It begins with social and cultural themes found through preliminary research. These themes provide a background, but they do not decide each participant’s story. Instead, every participant is invited to discover her own personal narrative.
The workshop begins with three main questions:
- What kind of woman were you taught to become when you were growing up?
- Where do you think that image came from?
- What parts of that image do you want to keep, and what parts do you want to let go?
Other questions may be added according to the themes found through local research and conversations.
After the discussion, each participant receives a vulva-shaped avatar template provided by the artist. Using magazines and other local printed materials, participants select and cut out images, words, colours and patterns that connect with their memories and experiences. They arrange these fragments inside and around the avatar to create a visual story of their own.
Participants are not asked to create a “correct” image of womanhood. The vulvashaped avatar becomes a frame through which each woman can express how she understands her body, identity and life. The process of creating the work is itself a way of making her voice visible.
