I am pleased to announce that I will be performing a new durations piece, ” The Warrior ” at Harold J. Miossi Art Gallery, in San Luis Obispo, California, as part of at Inverse Performance Art Festival 1:00pm – 3:30pm, September 29, 2017
“The Warrior” is a durational performance that explores how to use self-care, a new feminist strategy of resistance, to transform violent conflicts. Recent feminist discourse discusses to the potential power and radical nature of embracing self-care to explore our vulnerabilities because if “I matter, we matter, we are transforming what matters.” In this performance, I employ the similar strategy to create a liminal being by subverting my body to a site of contradiction and satire. The war is not inevitable. Conflicts can be diffused and transformed; arms can be laid down for good. Peace may often be elusive, but it is within our grasp which is both a gift and a task. For me, what the most important thing in this performance is to create some positive and sustainable gestures/actions that have capabilities to transform violence without depicting violence itself. Through satirizing the role of armed-force and juxtaposing the meditative gestures, this performance not only reveals a powerful sense of self and openness, but also turns the battle ground to a harmonious meditation space that cherishes human dignity, peace with justice, and shared well-being.

My performance, ” The Arrival,” will be performed at 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art, Toronto, Canada
Performance: The Arrival
Time:7:30 pm, October 14, 2016
Location: Geary Lane , 360 Geary Avenue, Toronto
“The Arrival” is a participatory research-based performance that examines identity, place, and belonging through languages and gestures. This performance starts from field research where I ask random people I meet on streets to say, “ Where are you from?” with different tones and emotions, I record their voices. I also invite people who I cannot meet in person to participate by asking them to record their own voices of saying“ Where are you from?” and send them to me. The final project will be presented at 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art in Toronto where I use the recorded voices, salt, and paper boats to respond my research.
