Publishing Ourselves 华语离散酷儿的自出版和写作

这场活动将邀请三位华语酷儿艺术家分享 TA 们的创作经验：为什么坚持创作？在一个英文主导的社会里，华语酷儿创作者在语言与身份表达上会面临哪些挑战？而又有哪些新的可能性得以生长？

分享结束后，你还可以自由选择参加一场虚构写作工作坊，共同探索和创作"离散的书"。

This event brings together three Sinophone queer artists to share their creative experiences and reflect on a few questions: Why do we keep creating?

What challenges do Sinophone queer artists face in expressing themselves across languages and identities in an English-dominated society? And what new possibilities might emerge along the way?

After the panel, you're welcome to join an optional fictional writing workshop to explore and create " The Diasporic Books".

Guests:

JW

London-based playwright and workshop facilitator for the 逆流而写 Writing Against the Tide project.

Shou-An

Currently based in London, Shou-An spends most of the day running errands while claiming to be a "darkroom manager," while also working in a bakery factory to bring home the metaphorical bacon (or in this case, the baos).

But their busy schedule does not prevent them from engaging in the contemplation of romantic fantasy and aestheticism through personal practice.

Working across photography, video, installation, performance, and text, Shou-An draws inspiration from everyday life and explores deeply personal themes in these works.

Shou-An's recent musings-turned-projects include The Ugly Bao Project, which uses photography, sound, and performance art to address food waste caused by mass production; and The Tea Project, an exploration into process-as-art.

For this project, they returned home to Taiwan to develop organic caffenol developer recipes using their family's own tea leaves.

The project utilizes manual labour as a form of healing and bodily engagement to commemorate family history.

Shou-An's work has been presented in recent years across Taiwan, the UK, Finland, and South Korea.

Shou-An目前旅居倫敦，一邊號稱攝影暗房主理人實則打雜跑腿，一邊作為麵包工廠工人苦惱柴米油鹽，同時還進行個人創作思考風花雪月，媒材橫跨攝影、錄像、裝置、表演和文字，靈感多來自日常生活，關注切身相關的議題。最近進行中的項目有：《醜包計劃》-用攝影、聲音和表演藝術呈現在資本主義下工廠大量生產的食物浪費議題；以及《茶葉圖鑑》-返鄉用自家茶葉研究有機顯影劑配方，以勞動來療傷，以身體性紀念家族歷史，探討過程作為藝術的可能。

近年作品散見於台灣、英國、芬蘭和韓國。
