“NUN（New United Nations-联合新国）地图勘测”项目，旨在邀请世界各地的人分享真实/虚构的故事。艺术家则充当图像生产的媒介，将这些故事手绘出来，制作成明信片赠予故事提供者。

The "NUN (New United Nations) Mapping" project aims to invite people from all over the world to share real/fictional stories. The artist acts as a medium of image production, hand-drawing these stories and making postcards to present to the storytellers.

项目缘起于一幅海陆颠倒的世界地图——NUN Map，在这幅地图里，既有的地理知识与历史话语不见踪影。地图成为了由众多亲历者所讲述故事而构建起来的开放图景。缘于至今不断弥漫的疫情，本项目在2020年首先与位于洛杉矶的Bridge Projects（桥项目）合作，通过Zoom视频交谈方式，采集了17位美国朋友的故事。参与者包括艺术家，策展人，作曲家，机构负责人，画廊员工，学者等等。

The project is based on the NUN Map, a map of the world with land and sea upside down, in which established geographical knowledge and historical discourse are missing. The map became an open picture built from the stories told by many people who lived it. In response to the epidemic that continues to pervade today, the project began in 2020 with a collaboration with Los Angeles-based Bridge Projects, which captured the stories of 17 American friends through Zoom video conversations. Participants include artists, curators, composers, institution directors, gallery staff, academics, and more.

其中的两则故事

Two stories in the project

故事一

Story No.1

讲述者：

安东尼奥-马克费（艺术家，华盛顿）

Story Teller: Antonio McAfee

安东尼奥诵读了小亨利-路易斯-盖茨和玛丽亚-塔塔尔所著的《美国非洲民间故事注释》中的一篇文字“天神的故事如何被称为蜘蛛故事”。

Antonio McAfee has been reading of a text (put photos in the chat) “How the Sky God’s Stories Came to be Known as Spider Stories” from The Annotated African American Folktales by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Maria Tatar.

故事来自非洲几内亚的原始传说，讲述了蜘蛛阿南西如何通过捕捉蟒蛇、大黄蜂、豹子和仙女，并将它们带到天神面前来买下天神的故事。在此之前，世界上没有故事。天神祝福了他，之后天神的故事就被称为蜘蛛故事。

The story of how the spider Anansi bought the sky god’s stories by capturing the python, the hornets, the leopard, and the fairy and bringing them to the sky god. In this version of the story he also brought his mother. The sky god blessed him and the sky god stories became known as spider stories instead.

故事二

Story No.2

讲述者：

波妮塔-海尔莫（艺术家，洛杉矶）

Story Teller: Bonita Helmer

位于墨西哥圣米格尔-德阿连德郊外的阿托尼尔科圣地，拥有令人难以置信的巴洛克绘画和美丽的雕塑。这是一个世界文化遗产，通常被称为 "墨西哥的西斯廷教堂"。据波妮塔说，阿托尼尔科圣地是一个充满黑暗和光明的神奇地方，是一个充满虐待和治愈的地方，有着深厚的历史。它也是一个许多人去朝圣的地方。

Sanctuary of Atotonilco just outside of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico with incredible baroque paintings and beautiful sculptures. It’s a World Heritage site often referred to as the “Sistine chapel of Mexico.” According to Bonita, the Sanctuary of Atotonilco is a magical place full of darkness and light, a place of abuse and healing and a deep history. It’s also a place to which many people make pilgrimages.

布鲁斯和他的妹妹去探索一个侧面的小教堂，而波妮塔则留在主圣堂里。当她在那里时，她听到了一种声音，转过身来，突然有数百名妇女跪着走进圣堂。她急切地开始向布鲁斯和他的妹妹招手，让他们来和她一起从侧门溜走--有这么多女人，如果他们不立即离开，他们就会被困住！他们被众多的女人惊呆了。

Bruce and his sister went to explore a side chapel while Bonita stayed in the main sanctuary. While she was there, she heard a noise, turned around, and suddenly there were hundreds of women coming into the sanctuary on their knees. She urgently started waving to Bruce and his sister to come and sneak out the side entrance with her—there were so many women that if they didn’t leave immediately they would be stuck! They were awed by the multitude of women making this pilgrimage.
