请回答2025：城市照护者
Reply 2025: Urban Care Workers
2025
每当有人提问：身体劳动对公共生活具有什么价值？一个人与他者或一个空间之间的信任、情感如何建立？仿佛同时在问：爱对每个人是否仍然重要？它如何产生？
美国人类学家大卫。格雷伯把工作区分为两类：一类是毫无意义但人们在大量从事的工作，还有一类是对整个社会非常必要但无人愿意从事的工作，比如环卫工、厕所清洁工，后者是“抹布神”工作坊关注并提醒人们注意的那一类“照护劳动”，相当于整个城市的家务事。劳动者事实上照顾了整个城市，维持着城市的运转。
本次项目聚焦“触碰”上海外滩源附近街道、墙壁、设施频率最多的人—从事街道清洁、厕所保洁、垃圾处理、保安等工作的劳动者。回应外滩建筑节“上海野餐”主题，公众参与者与外滩附近“城市照护者”联手创作一些垫子，放置在广场凉亭上。共创材料分别来自：参与者现场收集的周边保洁员的旧抹布、参与者自带闲置布料、外滩源勤泽美业保洁公司提供的旧抹布。共有15个垫子，也是15个保洁阿姨的故事。垫子之间用金黄色的布条相互连结，上面是公众参与者对照护者的提问。
劳动是爱的表达，人们在共同劳动的场景中对话，感受彼此生命的存在，唤起着公共性的爱。你问我是谁？你又是谁？答案就在垫子上。
When someone ask, ”What value does physical work have for public life? How are trust and emotion established between oneself and others or a space? “--it seems they are also asking,“Is love still important for everyone? How does it come about? ”
David Graeber, in his book Bullshit Jobs, divides jobs into two categories: one is the meaningless jobs that many people are doing, the other is the work that really necessary for society but no one wants to do, like sanitation work and toilet cleaning. This latter type is called "Care Work" --the kind that "Rag God Workshop" reminds people to notice. It is equivalent to the household affairs of the entire city. In fact, these workers take care of the city and maintain its operation every day.
This workshop focuses on people who touch the streets, walls, and facilities in the ROCKBUND area most frequently- the workers doing street cleaning, toilet cleaning, garbage disposal, and security job. Combining with the theme "Shanghai Picnic" of RAMa, we invited public participants to collaborate with the urban care workers near the ROCKBUND to create cushions which were placed on the plaza. The materials for the co-creation are from the old rags collected by the participants, the unused fabrics brought by the participants, and old rags provided by the Cleaning Company of ROCKBUND. There are 15 cushions, each telling the story of a cleaner. The cushions are interconnected with yellow ribbons and on them are the questions raised by public participants to the care workers.
Care work is the expression of love. People communicate with each other in the scene of joint labor, feel the existence of each other's lives and evoke the public love. You ask who I am? And who are you? The answer is on the cushion.
抹布神的诞生
The Birth of Rag God
2024
我认为现存的社会和文化始终在轻视这些包含巨大创造力的照护劳动。于是我在自己居住的村庄里，以“照护”为原点发起了十期工作坊，对外招募了数十位参与者和村民们一起共同创造一个节日，尝试把照护劳动从私人空间拉到公共空间，共同看见和庆祝照护劳动的存在。过程中，女性是感受和行动的主体，村庄是行动的空间。
最终“抹布神”诞生了，不要问为什么是抹布神，这是参与者们的愿力，也可以理解为天意或是命运。“抹布神”的每一条抹布来自做家务的村民，参与者通过竹艺、缝补、拧铁丝等切实的劳动赋予了抹布神灵魂，就这样，女性之间散落的力量重新聚集了起来。人类之间爱的劳动滋养，善于看见照护者的内心，善于唤醒那些原本就存在于每个人的日常生活和内心中、但常视而不见的珍贵感受。
这是一次不同身份、背景的女性之间的联结契机，也是一次宝贵的由女性主导的社区实验。
‘The Birth of Rag God’is a project with the theme of "Care", we invited participants and residents of Huashu Village in Nanjing to create a festival, trying to pull care work from private space to public space and celebrate it. During the workshop, women are the subject of feeling and action, and the village is the space for action. After two months, the "Rag God" was born under the joint work of the participants. In the summer, we held a ceremony named "The Birth of Rag God" in the village, and 100 rags made up of "rag God" came from the villagers doing housework (most of them are women).
More than 40 participants in the workshop paid labor for the creation of the Rag God. Care work is an expression of love, and it gives Rag God a soul. In this way, The power that had been scattered among the women gathered again.
The Rag God, nourished by the care work, is good at seeing the heart of the caregiver, and at awakening those precious feelings that are already present in the daily life and heart of each person, but are often invisible. This is an opportunity to connect women of different identities and backgrounds, and it is also a valuable community experiment led by women.
重新做人
Being a New Person
2024
一次共同创作的行动。看到脏的东西变干净、乱的东西变平整、新人有了旧气息，旧人有了新愿望，“重新做人”的念头就有可能出现，接下来要回答三个问题：什么才是“人”？为什么要“重新做人”？重新做一个怎样的人？
在回归日常、重塑记忆、身体劳动、与陌生人的联结中，也有一条重新做人的道路。活动邀请参与者使用自己童年的衣服、玩具，共同制作一个人型雕塑。
When we see dirty things become clean, messy things become smooth, new people have old breath, and old people have new aspirations, the idea of ‘Being a New Person‘ may appear, and then we have to answer three questions: What is a ‘person’? Why do we need to ‘be a new person’? What kind of person do you want to be?
There is also a path to becoming a new person in the return to daily life, the reinvent of memories, the care work with own body, the connection with strangers. Participants are invited to use their childhood clothes and toys to create a human sculpture.
「不要分离」共创项目
"Do not separate" co-create works
2024
本次作品是一次关于家的讨论，我们知道，并不是人们居住的空间都是“家”，“家”不仅是物理空间，更是一种场域感受，它来自哪里？有时无法言说。杯子、饭碗、塑料花、盘子、煮蛋器、毛巾、衣服……出现在作品中的所有元素，它们都带有每位女性对“家”的自我书写。
我把和她们关系紧密的家用物品，从她们家里，挑选、取出，共同摆放在一张陌生人的餐桌上（这张餐桌是一位刚离了婚的男性从家里扔掉的），并且将我自己离婚后从原来的家里保留下来的窗帘，悬挂在餐桌旁边，假装成餐厅的墙体，使整个空间显得私密，似乎是一个家庭的内部空间。
我们把这些来自不同家庭的物品聚在一起，假装成我们共同身处于同一个家。 过程中，我尝试去提问，是谁？是什么东西？在帮助我们构建、维系一种“家”的感觉？是什么让传统形式的“家”面临各种分离的挑战？未来，我们还能对“家”做出什么想象？
This work is a discussion about home. We know that not every space people live in is a ‘home’, ‘home’ is not only a physical space, but also a kind of feeling. Sometimes it is hard to describe. Cups, bowls, plastic flowers, plates, egg cookers, towels and clothes. All the elements that appear in the work, they all carry each woman's self-writing of ‘home’.
I have selected and taken out objects they used and related to them from their homes，placed them together on a stranger's dining table (which was thrown away from the home by a man recently divorced), and curtains that I kept from my original home after my divorce hanging next to the dining table, pretending to be a wall of dining room , so as to create a sense of space for the dining room at homeWe brought together these objects from different homes and pretended that we were all in the same home together.
During the process, I am trying to ask what specific person, object, labor, or actions help us construct and maintain a sense or a feeling of home. What makes the traditional home facing the challenge of separation? What other forms might the family/home have in the future?
母亲的选择写作项目
Mother's Choice Writing Project
2022-2026
现代人普遍面临的一种切身困境——自身的认知危机，随之而来的是公共生活形式的迷茫。当我把目光投向母亲这一身份，正是因为它带给我非常大的困惑，但似乎，对于现代人们普遍的困境来说，母亲经验本身同时即是问题，也是答案。
母亲经验，是一股逆着世界的力量，它试图不断链接着日益分离的个体，进行一种持续而重复、充满瑕疵与矛盾的劳作。「母亲的选择」写作项目就是在这样模糊的、难以言喻的感受和思索的背景下发起的，致力于建立母亲之间的联结，并共同回溯自身的日常经验，通过文字，辨认和显示出其中的能量，从中寻找可能的解答。
People nowadays are generally faced with a personal dilemma – self-cognitive crisis, following by the confusion of living. I began to focus on motherhood experience because of the great confusion it brought me, it seemed that the experience of motherhood itself was both the problem and the answer to the general dilemma. The motherhood experience is a force against the world, trying to constantly link increasingly separated individuals in a continuous and repetitive work full of flaws and contradictions. The Mother's Choice writing project was launched against this background of vague and indescribable feelings and reflections, with the aim of building a connection between mothers and retracing their daily experiences together, identifying and revealing their energy through words, in search of possible solutions.

唤醒计划
Awaking Project
2020-2021
我带领参与者以长时间自我介绍、接触具体材料创作的方式，挖掘真实的个体生命经验，探索普通人进入创造性生活的路径，建立人与自己的亲密感。计划里我通过分享个体经验与创作之间的相互对照、转化的过程，鼓励参与者去掉“外壳”，重新打开感受和思考，建立内心的力量，像“艺术家”一样，或者。像个“儿童”一样，开始动手。
I led the participants to explore the real individual life experience, explore the path for ordinary people to enter the creative life, and build the intimacy between people and themselves by introducing themselves for a long time and contacting the creation of specific materials. By sharing the process of contrast and transformation between individual experience and creation, I encourage participants to remove the "shell", re-open feelings and thinking, and build inner strength, like an "artist", or. Like a child, start doing it.
