PRINTMAKING
Together, we will share our stories and experiences, revisit different scenarios, and use our creativity to turn them into practices. Utilizing printmaking techniques such as linocut, woodcut, and paper-cut, we will collectively map out our frustrations, narratives, desires, and imagined spaces.

ORIGINS
The history of contemporary woodcut prints depicting social realities is deeply rooted in Asia, from Lu Xun’s woodcut movement to anonymous works like Huang Rongcan’s „Terrifying Inspection“, evolving through movements such as the democracy movements of the 1980s and resistance against authoritarianism in 1990s Indonesia, eventually transforming into today’s activist woodcut groups.

Yu uses painting as a tool to reflect on the relationship between mental health and public space, healing, and research on the individual and the collective. Yu also works with moving images and sounds to explore how class struggles, capitalism, and structural racism shape and intertwine our urban landscape and soundscape.

INTERSECTIONAL WORK & SOCIAL CLUB

BIWOC* Rising is the first intersectional work & social club in Berlin and Germany.

Through training programs, empowerment workshops, and a work-desk in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg, BIWOC* Rising is creating a new working culture – a working culture that transcends the white, homogenous, capitalist one that has been a core driver of gentrification and marginalization in Berlin.
