A workshop to explore how embodied making can inform collective publishing. During the workshop, participants explored the relationship between the body and Hanzi (Chinese characters) through a series of hands-on exercises to create collaborative, wearable posters. Participants practiced writing Hanzi at a large scale by making a human-proportioned poster. How can embodied making create a space for collective exchange and expression? What does collective publishing look like through collaborative labor in a shared space and time? What are ways that we can examine the boundaries between bodies and print, typography and space, and the individual to the collective?
