通过艺术实践探索，一些想象的空间如何被流动和出走的经验共情所牵引，使观者对个人经验、民俗传说以及历史线索产生推测性的联系，以此展开创想，产生出新的故事。
故事的绘制可以是交叉状的，时而来自日常的观察，时而来自一些流传已久的传说和童话。如果调皮地揉杂多层的故事支线直至混乱，通过梳理非线性的脉络，我們能否在制造的混乱中探寻打破二元立场，一同前行的可能。
广为流传的“田螺仙”（即我们熟知的“田螺姑娘”）传说带来了社会对“好妻子”以及父权结构下家庭分工的“理想标准”，也带来了我对家庭角色属性的疑惑，从而展开围绕“田螺仙”的项目研究。其中，我邀请小朋友和成人进行有关“田螺仙”故事的讨论与改写，探索在不同场景、语境下“田螺仙”故事的角色流动性，以此打破性别问题讨论中的二元立场。在传说的原型被改写甚至是偏离后所重构出的新故事中，探寻人的意识形态与故事相互之间的作用力，以及在互动中被开拓出的思考“空间”。
聊天室
由“田螺仙”螺壳被剥夺的母题展开猜想。讨论“主角”与“个体经验”的关联。
谁是农夫？谁是螺仙？螺壳的意向是什么？夺壳会带来怎样的结果？我们交织软体动物遇到“危险”时的经验猜想，得以产生理解与共情，从而填补生活关系中的缝痕。我们拆分这个民俗传说中的元素，探讨在家庭单位之中，“权利”与“压迫”的流动性。
扮演人类，还是仙子成为你的选择，田螺仙的螺壳成为餐桌上的特殊器皿，准备好来吃无穷尽的水果吧。
欢迎对民俗话题感兴趣，想要参与讨论的你来现场加入我们。讨论开始的时间为下午5点，由于空间有限，有兴趣参与的朋友请发邮件至：topartspace@163.com。并附加一句想参与的理由，我们将会回复您的邮件以确认。
Jing has been experimenting with recreating new versions of a story, by dint of the formation of speculative relations among personal experiences, folklores and historical trajectories, from imagined spaces navigated by flowing and straying experiential empathy.
Through the drawing of storylines' anfractuosity and the combing of nonlinear contexts, Jing playfully mingles more sidelines into chaos, where she is exploring the possibilities of breaking dualism.
Snail Fairy is a research project based on Chinese folklore Snail Maiden. The project would be presented by performative talks/workshops that invite children and adults separately, to discourse the plots and characters in Snail Maiden from different contexts, in order to discuss the fluidity of the roles we playing in society and break through the binary viewpoints in discussion upon gender roles. Through the adaption/rewriting, despite the possible and obvious deviations from the original story of these newly constructed versions, this project aims to explore the interaction between ideology and folklore (mythology), as well as the thinking space derived from such interaction.
WORKSHOP
Imagination based on the motif of Snail Fairy whose shell is stripped off.
Who is the Farmer? Who is the Snail Fairy? Our intricate experiences on mollusks.
You are invited to dig into the folklore topics and join in the discussion with us!
