Crossing Tones 开洋腔

开洋腔:一个小而倔强的跨文化创意媒体。关注文化差异，探索城市多元。通过主题文图、视频，及线下活动的传播形式，联合品牌、机构及社群等，构建跨界发声平台，希望减弱不同文化圈之间的刻板印象。
Crossing Tones, the Cross-cultural Creative Media, aims at cultural differences in connection with exploring the urban diversities. By spreading thematic texts, videos and events, and drawing together brands, institutions and communities, it strives to create a unique platform for cross-boundary communication, which could build a bridge to decrease the friction caused by stereotypes.

开腔——四川话，指“说话”，例句：你咋个不开腔？你开声腔撒。
洋——“洋”字作为修辞，曾常用于形容从西方远道而来的外来人和物。比如，洋芋、洋行、洋火、洋马儿、洋人……洋腔，多指外国人在使用汉语的状态。
开洋腔——在四川话语境的演绎中，开洋腔代表着人们对新鲜事物的一种调侃态度。

Theme: Up! Free Spirit In The Air

August 23, 2019 (Fri) 19:00-20:30

Venue: Dr. Sport, 4floor, South Lippo Building District

 

离开地球表面，身体与重力较量，内心在回应关于自由的召唤。

情不自禁，新潮澎湃，在炽热与冷静中——

呼吸拉长了时间，心跳碰撞出生命向上的质感。

UP向上，是力量，也是正念。

我们选择与“腾空”相关的5项小众运动，将那些好奇、刻板印象、跨文化的差异一一呈现，试图从切身具象的角度，进一步了解这项运动。

While getting away from the surface of the Earth, the body is fighting against the gravity, and the heart is responding to the call of freedom. Tempted, with enthusiasm, between the heat and calm, the breath stretches the time and the heartbeat impact on the texture of life. UP is a positive power, it is the energy which enables one to keep trying.

We chose five niche sports related to “UP,” and we will try to present the curiosity, stereotypes, and cross-cultural differences from a more conceptual perspective.
