關於「薇姬的房間」：
「女性若是想要寫作，一定要有錢和自己的房間」～維吉尼亞・吳爾芙(Virginia Woolf)。
「薇姬的房間」是由女性為主體的自由軟體社群WoFOSS，與Wikimedia Taiwan激盪而出的火花，期待它能夠成為一個更友善女性的共同寫作社群，讓女生也能享有舒適、自在的共同寫作空間。自2015年3月26日起進行了第一次的聚會，薇姬們的共識下，決定每月一次一起見面。
在維基開放知識寫作的網路社群中，女性的參與情況遠少於男性，使女性關注的條目也相對貧乏。或許，對經濟獨立渴望，在當代已經非難事；然而舒適、安心的空間，卻在女性生命中的每一個時空，都需要反覆追求。
開放不是全然赤裸，一個隱蔽的空間，反而能讓女孩與女人在這裡敞開心胸，寫下專屬女性的認知世界。「薇姬的房間」期待妳一起加入寫作耕耘的行列。

⤞女頭目的未來學⤝⤞母系.生產. 生態⤞
TCAC推出2019全新帶狀節目《女頭目的未來學》，以系列展覽與公眾參與活動帶領觀眾想像：母系的生產將如何領導與批判科技與資本主義治理的社會。我們希望在超越邊界的前提下討論唐納‧哈洛威談的女性「類同」，以此為背景，《女頭目的未來學》重新檢視第四波女性主義中科技對女性賦權的樂觀，以及馬克思女性主義與生態女性主義的方法學。
參展藝術家多在網路時代成長，其中有些擁有身為離散族群的生命軌跡，他們享受60-70年代的女性主義運動成果，但仍弔詭地在生命歷程中面對不同程度的性別暴力。跨文化的背景使他們將性別權力的討論延伸到不同的空間，包括情動、個人歷史、去殖民、環境生態。參展藝術家以個人敘事回應本展的潛在台詞: 「如果不成為母親，女性藝術家如何面對女性認同相關的藝術生產？」母系回應父權暴力的方式，絕不是生理，同質，抽象，排除他者的。我們希望女頭目透過各種「跨」，來化身為溝通者與預言者，連結男子、女人、酷兒、移民、非人類、或者說，女頭目的預言，是一個包容跨物種的未來生態系統。
《女頭目的未來學》由李雨潔共同策展。

About A Room of WikiWomen’s Own:
“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” – Virginia Woolf
“A Room of WikiWomen’s Own” is a meetup started by Women in Free and Open Source Software in Taiwan(WoFOSS) and Wikimedia Taiwan(WMTW). We wish it become a co-editing community that is friendly for female, and let women have a free, comfortable co-editing space on their own.
Female participation are way less than male in the internet community of collaborative writing in the Wikimedia Movement. Perhaps it’s not that hard for women to have economic autonomy in the contemporary era. However, to have one’s own space that is comfortable and relaxed is still need to pursuit now.
Openness does not mean nudity. To create a covered space will allow women to open their mind and write down the world they see. Welcome to join us!
Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement: Matrilineage, Production, Ecosystem
In 2019 TCAC is launching a new program called Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement. Through this series of exhibitions and public workshops, we hope to unite leaders and art workers who share a vision of matrilineal production. Reflecting on the dominance of information technology and capitalism, which hinder genuine equality and diversity in our society, we look for new directions for feminist “affinities” across borders. Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement cautiously examines the techno-optimism embedded in the fourth-wave feminist movement, and perspectives inspired by Marxist Feminism and Ecofeminism.
Participating artists grew up in the information age, and many of them experienced diaspora. They enjoyed the achievement of feminist movements in the 1960s and 1970s, which, however, do not guarantee a world without gender violence. Their cross-cultural backgrounds enable them to extend the discussion about gender power to various aspects regarding affect, personal histories, decoloniality, and ecosystem. Their individual narratives respond to the underlying note of the exhibition: “How does a [woman] artist cope with [her] practice without being a mother?” Art of the so-called “maternal lineage” does not refer to sex- and gender-specific products, nor is it homogenous, exclusive, or instrumentalized. The future avatars have to be communicators and prophets who can form an alliance with men, women, queer people, immigrants, and non-humans. Thus, this futurist statement delineates an ecosystem that accommodates all species.
Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement is co-curated with Yu-Chieh Li.
