Hidden scripts, hidden stories. In the mountains of southern China, Yao and Puyuan women once recorded their songs, emotions, and ceremonies using unique writing systems - the Babao and Poya Songbook Scripts. Passed through generations by hand, these beautiful forms of literacy now teeter on the edge of extinction. Come join our upcoming meeting on July 6th - links in bio.
