Our takeover artist Chen Yifei has invited Zoénie Liwen Deng and WU Qin for an afternoon of sharing and conversation.
Zoénie Liwen Deng is an art writer, researcher, poet, curator, and translator. Her works focus on non-oppositional criticality of socially engaged art in contemporary China, crossing paths with Yifei’s works while conducting research on self-organisation of cultural practitioners in Southern China.
WU Qin is a writer, editor and activist, used to be active in the cultural and activism scene in China. Her focus is on social movements, alternative political practices, and the leftovers of the globalisation. She recently moved to Berlin from Beijing.
Zoénie, WU Qin and Yifei will present their previous and ongoing works, followed by a conversation on their practices, as well as observations and thoughts on criticality within the larger social and cultural spheres.
