Talks! x Secret Riso Club was the first offline extension of gtalks! radio, bringing its frequencies into physical space as a site for conversation and community. The event drew from nostalgic cues, plastic chairs evoking everyday gossip and commuting conversations, to reframe casual talk as a critical exchange between creatives. Even the title Talks! nods to colloquial gossip, while here becoming a space for artists to openly share about their practice. The poster design featured a metal-etched pattern rooted in my upbringing in Ürümqi, grounding the event’s visual identity in both personal narrative and cultural texture.
I led the full production: developing the concept and creative intent, writing all event and marketing text, sourcing and organizing collaborators, and renting and managing equipment. I directed the graphic design of the poster, produced physical items for the event, and oversaw documentation on the day. Collaborating with DJ Jack Wang (otx.wes) and graphic designer Seri Kwag, I shaped a cohesive visual and cultural identity that bridged gtalks!’ digital roots with its first offline gathering.
