Collage is a very expressive way to create and also the most direct and effective way to stretch one’s imagination. We will try to explore the images children have of their parents and family and let them express what they think using the simplest method. From this workshop, participants will not only take home collage works but also interesting stop-motion animation works, which hopefully will become an imaginative souvenir to remind them of their childhood.
Urbanization and urban life have changed our lifestyle. The state of mind created by city life is mainly occupied by fleeting images. It is made of “the rapid telescoping of changing images, pronounced differences within what is grasped at a single glance and the unexpectedness of violent stimuli (Georg Simmel)”.

Sound art is a very important field of contemporary art. We will ask our participants to record their names—the most basic and symbolic words and inspire them to create with these recordings. Participants will discover the charm of sound through pronouncing the words in different intonations and with different emotions and rhythms. We will also instruct the participants to edit these sound materials and make them into complete and interesting art works.
The lecture will talk about the art of Mark Bradford and the development of collage as a medium of creation in the past century. When it comes to collage, there are two kinds of techniques. The first is to chop up something that is complete and regroup the pieces. We can find its employment in cubist art that emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. The second is to piece together the parts of real objects.

MutipleTap Music Festival is a music event founded by Japanese-Korea guitarist Kou Katsuyoshi. It has been successfully held in UK, Germany and Mexico. The letter Kou Katsuyoshi wrote to Yin Yi says: our aim is to introduce to the world what's happening in Japan's music scene today. Japan has a mixed up, chaotic music scene that includes traditional, electronic, experimental, and extreme avant-garde music, these are all happening simultaneously. What Yin Yi replied was that we have to blend them
Observation of looks is the foundation of traditional portraits. At this workshop, we will use the most effective method to teach our participants how to make deep observation of people’s looks (including the details of our facial features) and expressions. Participants will draw portraits of each other and then use these portraits to recreate. By doing this, participants will further open up their mind and be more creative and innovative.
A map of a city is the primitive roaming reference for wanderers and explorers. However, it does not reflect the life of the city. Streets are always alive. Wanderers, daydreamers, collectors of stories, objects and images, theatre artists, performance artists and contemporary artists travel from west Europe to the Middle East and then from Middle East to Shanghai.

"We live in a time of transition", argues Yann Moulier Boutang. But the irony is that this is not a transition to a new type of society called ‘socialism’, as many on the Left had assumed; rather, it is a transition to a new type of capitalism.
