欢迎来到一场跨越文化的创意之旅！
 在这个工作坊中，我们将结合中国书法的流动之美与西方神秘符号的象征语言，探索不同文化中“符号”如何承载力量、意义与精神性。
你将学习道符的基础结构，体验毛笔书写的节奏与韵律，同时了解西方古老符号背后的故事，如炼金术符号、卢恩字母与护身图腾等。在引导与自由创作之间，你将逐步提炼出属于自己的个人符号。
最终，每位参与者将把这份“内在图腾”绘制在具有东方质感的宣纸上，并装裱成一幅独一无二的画作，成为你与世界对话的象征，亦是一份可被珍藏的精神礼物。

In this workshop, we’ll explore the flowing energy of Chinese calligraphy together with the hidden language of Western mystical symbols.
Inspired by ancient Daoist talismans and your own inner symbols, you’ll learn to combine traditional brush techniques with visual storytelling from both Eastern and Western cultures — from alchemy signs and runes to protective marks and intuitive strokes.
By the end of the session, you’ll create your own unique totem artwork, blending personal meaning with cross-cultural wisdom. Each piece will be painted on beautifully textured Chinese xuan paper and carefully framed — a powerful piece to take home and cherish.
Come with curiosity. Leave with a symbol of your spirit.

嘉宾/主讲人简介：MO 是一个由两位来自 UAL（伦敦艺术大学）背景的艺术家共同创办的创意团队，活跃于伦敦。她们擅长将中国文化中的诗意传统融入当代设计语言，探索手作与情感、身体之间的细腻连接。
她们相信，“做”是一种思考，也是一种温柔的表达方式。每一次创作，都是一次回望内在、整理情绪的过程，让文化的笔触在当下生活中重新被感知与佩戴。

About the Artists:

MO is a creative duo founded by two artists from the University of the Arts London. Based in London, they love bringing the quiet beauty of Chinese traditions into modern design—finding gentle ways to connect making with feeling, and hands with the body.
They believe making isn’t just about creating things—it’s a way of thinking, and sometimes, a soft way of speaking. Each piece they create is a chance to pause, look inward, and make sense of emotions. For them, culture isn’t something distant—it’s something you can feel, wear, and carry with you in everyday life.

About Chinese Culture Week

Chinese Culture Week is an intercultural initiative that brings Chinese artists, creators, educators, and performers to one of the world’s largest arts festivals—the Edinburgh Fringe. First launched in 2024, CCW is designed not just as a showcase, but as a platform for meaningful cultural dialogue between China and the rest of the world. Through theatre, exhibitions, workshops, and live performances, CCW offers a rare opportunity to experience Chinese culture not as a monolith, but as a dynamic, evolving conversation.

CCW is curated and produced by the Intercultural Connections Initiative (ICI), a Scotland-registered community interest company dedicated to fostering cultural exchange through the performing arts. ICI is led by a young and international team of cultural producers, educators, and creative strategists, with roots in both East and West. Together, they bring a fresh perspective to global cultural engagement—one grounded in empathy, innovation, and long-term partnership.
