Introduction

Spring’s first festival is International Women’s Day. Leveraging this occasion, A4 Art Museum has invited 15 women from different industries, backgrounds, and ages as guests to join us for two tea parties this weekend. Starting from each individual’s real experiences, we would like to explore: Are “female traits” ingrained in DNA? In writing, creating, and navigating real workplaces, do these traits influence us or make us more unique? And in intimate relationships with mothers, partners, or female friends, how do we candidly be ourselves amidst the contrast with others?

In today’s atmosphere where feminist topics are penetrating our lives with irresistible force, we find that there’s still a need for practical pivots: dialogue, listening, broader connections, absorbing energy from more voices and perspectives, to bring a little strength to each “her.” We hope this tea party is just a beginning, a starting point that we’ll continuously return to.

Part I:

If there were another lifetime,

Would you still want to be a woman?

Do women inherently possess a certain feminine trait? If so, what kind of temperament is it? What’s the connection between this feminine trait and our professions?

Part II:

In intimate relationships,

How do we remain true to ourselves?

As daughters, wives, mothers… In these intimate relationships like mother-daughter and romantic partnerships, how do you understand yourself? How do you be yourself? How do you love yourself?
