Nu Shu: The Secret Language of Women

Writing can be a liberating and empowering process, lifting historically oppressed voices. Join us on Saturday, March 27 at 7:00 PM for an exploration of Nu Shu (女書), a script created by and for women centuries ago.

Explore Nu Shu, a special female script created hundreds and perhaps thousands of years ago exclusively by and for women in Jiangyong County, Hunan province of southern China. Through a guided exploration of Professor Weimin Zhang’s multimedia art project, we will delve into how this script differs from traditional Chinese. We will also learn more about how it arose out of denied educational opportunities and condemnation to social isolation for peasant women.

Professor Weimin Zhang, of San Francisco State University, spent many years researching, producing this interactive multimedia art project that was acquired by the Library of Congress in 2007.

This bilingual program will be presented in English and Chinese.
