Workshop, Branding 2024 Societies internationally have become increasingly diverse as they experience more cultural exchange. It should be embraced for personal and soceital benefit, but an individual can often feel inertia when they engage with the unfamiliar, especially when it comes to the sensitivities associated with ‘other’ cultures.
CRXSS is a typography-based workshop that oversees participants in learning the systems of various scripts to devise their own blend with one they’re familiar with, bringing them on a journey to cross the gap between familiar and unfamiliar and begin to embrace multiculturalism.
CRXSS Workshop Series
A series of workshops were conducted in-person and online with largely monolingual individuals; discussions and collaborations quite naturally occured between participants. The sessions operated as cultural exchanges in exploring various scripts from all over the world.</media-item>/media-item><</media-item>

It was modified to be incorporated as part of a chinese ink painting workshop, focusing on East Asian scripts and stripping it back to be akin to the project’s original inspiration, Xu Bing’s Square Word Calligraphy.
