Women in the Chinese Language

DESCRIPTION

• A celebration and a response to the International Women’s Day.

• Looking back at my Chinese heritage, I created this design to examine how our perception of women has been shaped by the everyday language. This print displays a selection of traditional Chinese words with “woman” 女 used as a radical 部首.

• Instantly one can point out how family responsibilities, societal roles and beauty are disproportionately defined to be feminine.

• 20% of the proceeds will be donated to BESEA.N. A grassroots movement led by six amazing ESEA (East and Southeast Asian) women fighting the negativity against our identities, livelihood and cultures.
