NVSHU

Decode the secret language of sisterhood in this evocative visual tapestry For hundreds of years, women in China’s agricultural province of Hunan have kept a language hidden from the world. Mothers and sisters would communicate with each other in an exclusive writing system called Nushu. Unintelligible to men, this secret language gave women the power to express their sadness and hopes in an era that barred them from political and social life. Inspired by this rediscovered history, musicians Lhaga Koondhor and Amber Akilla founded Shanghai-based DJ collective NVSHU. Their aim: to organize DJ workshops that engender a rebellious and fearless attitude for female-identifying people who want to take ownership of their lives.
