Women Beyond Borders was founded by Lorraine Serena in 1991, who wanted to honour and document womens’ voices and visions, to encourage collaboration and dialogue, and to inspire creative expression. “The arts are a universal and essential language, allowing people to look beyond themselves and celebrate their humanity.”
This project challenges geographical, political, ethnic, religious, and aesthetic boundaries. Since its inception, Women Beyond Borders has acted as a catalyst for change and cultural exchange worldwide. Red Room is honored to be a part of this movement and we invite all women, of all nationalities living on our beautiful island of Taiwan, to join our Red Room WBB traveling exhibition.
《女性超越國界計畫》由Lorraine Serena於1991年成立,期冀能彰顯與記錄下女性的聲音與視界,鼓勵彼此間合作與對話,並激勵各項創造性思考與表達。「藝術是一個宇宙通用且不可或缺的語言形式,讓人們得以超越自身思考人性,並讚頌人性的美妙。」
計畫推動以來,各式各樣五花八門的盒子創作品已經在世界不斷的巡迴訪問,從歷史博物館旅行到加德滿都古寺、15世紀的義大利翁布利亞莊園、歐洲的古老列車,以及位於日本山頂上的美術館。《女性超越國界計畫》累積了超過900位藝術家、一萬名學生參與,一共在全球舉辦了超過50場展覽。同時也在不同場地中,透過彼此見面、對話、討論以及交換彼此的想法,觸及了超越數千個觀者同在分享。
《女性超越國界計畫》不僅挑戰了地域、政治、道德、宗教及美感的界線;在啟動後,Women Beyond Borders也逐漸以一催化劑的角色在國際間造起改變的風潮,也導引著文化間相互交融、轉換。紅坊十分榮幸能夠參與這項運動,也希望妳能跟我們一起。在這美麗的台灣島嶼上生活的人們哪,不管妳從哪裡來,要往哪裡去,都歡迎加入我們紅坊WBB巡迴展覽一起尋找更多故事。
