（進行中）被製造的野性：野女人蒐集計畫 Shaped Wildness: A Wild Woman Project

10 May 2025

透過藥草的知識與實踐作為引導工具，探討當代女性自己的身體敘事。從個人經驗出發，延伸至集體記憶，個人／社會身體的製造與被製造，思考身體如何被形塑、被限制，也如何重新被擁有與命名。

野性是直覺與天性的本能？還是掙脫或解放的行動？

野性是性別歧視的的標籤？還是與自然生態的原始連結？

在性別平權意識尚未被正視的過去，女性長期承載了沈重的社會規範與期待，包括我的外婆與母親，她們在傳統婦女與自由個體之中掙扎，而我也在從小被教導如何成為女性與身體的自主權之中掙扎。不同流派的女性主義與平權發展的多年後，我們仍然在對抗偏見，試圖在多重身份之間尋找定位與平衡。

「被製造的野性」不是一種歸類，而是試圖探討追尋自主性的實驗。透過藥草、文本與物件的蒐集與對話，重新思考女性與自然、身體與權力之間的關係。

Using the knowledge and practice of herbal medicine as a guiding tool, this project explores contemporary women’s narratives of their own bodies. Beginning with personal experience and expanding and connect to collective memory, it investigates how both individual and social bodies are constructed and shaped—how they are restricted, reclaimed, and renamed.

Is wildness an instinct of intuition and nature? Or is it an act of resistance and liberation?

Is wildness a label born of gender discrimination? Or a call back to a primal connection with nature and ecology?

In a past where gender equality was not yet acknowledged, women carried the heavy weight of societal norms and expectations. My grandmother and mother struggled between the roles of traditional women and autonomous individuals. I too have wrestled with the tension between being taught how to be a woman and the right to claim bodily autonomy. Even after decades of feminist discourse and gender equity movements across different schools of thought, we still have to resist prejudice meanwhile search for grounding and balance amid multiple identities.

“Shaped Wildness” is not a categorisation, but an experimental inquiry into the pursuit of autonomy. Through the gathering of and having dialogue with herbs, texts, and objects, the project reconsiders the relationships between women, nature, the body and power.
