Using oral history methodology, WU Ma-Li interviewed several women who have worked at some textile factories in Hsingchuang for long years. She wrote down the stories of these female migrant workers who moved to the greater Taipei area from other parts of Taiwan, and weaved the texts into large purple cloths before mounting them to the walls. Along with images projected on the middle wall, she unveils the fate of these women who areshackled by the patriarchal family system in a changing industrial time. The artist uses interview texts, repetitive images of sewing machines at work, and the humming sounds of sewing to create a space where women’s participation in the economic development of Taiwan and the textile industry through body and labor seem to come to life again. In a meditative, saddening aura, Wu encourages the audience to reflect on women’s stance in the history and society of Taiwan.
