20 November and 21 November 2010

We’ve invited Liyen Chong to develop one of 4A’s Community Mapping Projects in 2010. Liyen is known for her exquisite embroidered artworks using human hair and her use of images which form a potent symbolic language reflective of cultural history, memory and social roles of women.

Together with the Chinese Heritage Association and the Chinese Women’s Association, we are inviting the community to join the artist to embark on a project that will see the development of a new embroidered artwork -created by the community, using their own hair.
