Facilitated by Leticia Clementina Thomas, this artist talk with Laura Dudu and huiyin zhou explores their solo exhibition at Artspace.
//About this event//
Facilitated by Leticia Clementina Thomas, this artist talk with Laura Dudu and huiyin zhou dives into the personal stories and collaborative processes that birthed their multimedia exhibit, 辫 (biān) / 彼岸 (bǐ àn）— “for those of us who live at the shoreline”(Audre Lorde, A Litany for Survival). Topics include collaborative image-making and writing, queer kinship, diasporic home making, and cultural organizing. Following the talk, audience will have time to explore the exhibition and ask the artists questions during the closing reception.
//About the exhibition//
Through photography, family archives, ephemera, writing, collage, installation, and participatory art, 辫（biān) /彼岸（bǐ àn）embraces both the artists and their works as at once the shore and the water. The standing shores — individual legacies of (im)migration and wars their families endured — are braided by tender waters: the intimacy and care they share as collaborators and chosen family.
This project was supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.
