在这个活动中，我们将结合中国书法中的吉祥文字与西方文化中的图腾符号，创作一对独一无二的护符耳饰。你将用毛笔写下一个汉字，可能是“喜”、或“静”——一个回应你此刻内在状态的字语。与此同时，你也将结合西方图腾符号，绘制一个象征力量的图案：如象征生命与永恒的安卡（Ankh），或是你亲自构思的意象图形。它们既来自古老文化的智慧，也源于你当下的直觉与愿望。热缩片承载墨迹，黄铜片雕刻图腾。你将在形与意之间游走，让书法与金属交织，完成一件凝聚心意的作品。这不仅是一场手作体验，更是一种把心愿具象为佩戴仪式的过程。当你戴上它，也许你佩戴的，不只是耳饰，而是你给予自己的守护与回应。

In this workshop, we’ll bring together Chinese calligraphy and symbols from Western cultures to make a pair of unique talisman earrings.
You’ll start by using a brush to write one Chinese word — like 喜 (joy) or 静 (calm) — something that reflects how you feel or what you need right now. Then, you’ll create a simple symbol to match it — maybe an ankh for protection and life, or a shape you make up yourself. These symbols come from both old traditions and your own imagination.
Your word will be written on shrink plastic, and your symbol carved into brass.
 Step by step, you’ll turn ink and metal into something meaningful — a pair of earrings made with your hands and your heart. When you wear them, you’re not just wearing jewelry — you’re carrying a quiet message, a bit of care you made for yourself.

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.
