About the event
2025年夏天，第十四代蝉（Brood XIV）在地下蛰伏17年后涌向地面。在他们短短两周的生命里，发出持续不断的鸣叫声，响彻整片树林。会留下的半透明外壳（exuviae），脆弱而明确，是蜕变的唯一见证。下一次出现，将是 2042 年。
艺术家将绘画视为冥想与疗愈的实践，透过画笔捕捉自然中不断复现的韵律（pattern）。在这个工作坊中，我们将在现场即兴音乐的环境中进行冥想性绘画，使用半透明描图纸、复写纸，作为画布.
‘如同蝉蜕一般，绘画记录内在的蜕变，也成为一种超越语言的沟通媒介。’

What remains are their translucent exuviae—fragile yet defined, the sole witness to transformation. Their next emergence will be in 2042.
The artist approaches drawing as a meditative and healing practice, using brushwork to trace the cyclical patterns that recur in nature. In this workshop, participants will create meditative drawings accompanied by live improvised music, working on translucent tracing paper as canvas for their zine:
