# Group Introduction

Print and Carve Dept. （2019-）is an artivism collective. We invite people to participate in discussions about social issues through co-creation of art, and to support the communities and ideas we care about through collective art creation.

We organize collective printmaking workshops, focusing on social issues, including forced eviction, migrant workers' rights and Human Rights, transitional justice, gender issues, and labor rights.

The goal of collective printmaking is to reach out to communities and groups, inviting people to collaborate on creative projects. Through D.I.T., we implement ‘collective self-expression’ and ‘control over artistic interpretation,’ exploring and experimenting with the possibilities of collective creation while deepening public participation, exchange, and interaction on issues relevant to Taiwan and the international community.

Every Thursday, we hold ‘Print Gathering’ in Taipei's Zhongshan area, a Café called Beifongshe, with about 10 mobile members participating each time.

In addition to regular gatherings, we also collaborates with NGO and social issue groups, including: TIWA (Taiwan International Workers Association), TISM (Taiwan International Students Movement), DCU (Domestic Caretaker Union), etc.

Our members are Liao Shin-yun, Pang Liang-hsuan, Tai Yun-jie, Huang Yu-ling and Yiva Lee.

印刻部是一個藝術行動團體。我們邀請人們透過共同創作藝術來參與社會議題的討論，並透過共同進行集體藝術創作來支持我們在乎的社群與理念。

我們透過集體版畫工作坊，關注社會議題，如土地迫遷、移工議題和非公民權利、轉型正義、性別議題和勞工議題。

集體創作版畫的目標是走進社區、團體，邀請人們合作創作，透過D.I.T實踐「群體自我發聲」和「藝術詮釋掌握」，不斷探索和嘗試集體創意發展的可能性，並加深公眾對台灣和國際社會議題的參與、交流與互動。

我們每週四在台北中山咖啡廳北風社舉辦「印刻聚」，每次約有 10 位流動會員參加。
