臺灣書院與路易莎藝文中心 Louisa Coffee USA 合作，於洛杉磯西好萊塢首間門市舉辦的開幕聯展《大母神之夢：蛻變、權力與智慧》，共展出3位藝術家作品，包括：

1️⃣阿美族藝術家魯碧・司瓦那Ruby Swana的創作《花露初》，從身體感知與自然經驗出發，使作品如生命般在空間中緩慢生成。

2️⃣臺灣藝術家盧芛以水墨繪畫為創作方法，展出作品包含屏風與捲軸形式，重新思考蛇、陰性與母性之間的文化關係。

3️⃣美國藝術家 Alexandra Carter 與 Heather Beardsley 透過染布與刺繡合作，探討女性身體與生育如何受到社會規訓。作品引用莉莉絲等神話中的女性角色，描繪其轉化為動植物混合形態的瞬間。

路易莎已正式開幕營運！歡迎隨時前往，來一場最有質感的感官體驗。

The inaugural group exhibition “The Great Mother’s Dream: Metamorphosis as Power and Wisdom” at Louisa Coffee’s first overseas space in Los Angeles include three artists' creation:

1️⃣Ruby Swana | Starting from bodily perception and natural experience, her creations allow works to slowly generate within the space like life itself.

2️⃣Lu Wei | Using ink wash painting as her creative method, Lu Wei exhibits works in the forms of screens and scrolls to rethink the cultural relationship among the serpent, femininity, and motherhood.

3️⃣Alexandra Carter & Heather Beardsley | Through a collaboration of fabric dyeing and embroidery, the duo explores how the female body and reproduction are subjected to social regulation.

The store is now officially open for business. You are welcome to visit anytime for a truly immersive sensory experience.
