The writing and publishing practice of qīqíqǐqì revolves around natural lacquer, documenting and reflecting on our work from multiple perspectives. The content includes stories behind the making of lacquer, artists’ journals, compilations of material experiments, and critical reflections on cultural roots and craft orthodoxy. These texts serve as immediate records of our ongoing research and will also form part of future publications.

We are currently preparing a comprehensive publication that explores natural lacquer from multiple viewpoints. While tracing its historical contexts, we also respond to its redefinition and potential in the contemporary era.

The publication is scheduled for release in June 2026.

Alongside our publications, this section also includes selected press releases and media coverage related to our studio practice.
