Ximan Wang & Yeung Siu Fong: Prothesis at Tomorrow Maybe


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Inspired by David T. Mitchell and Sharon L. Snyder’s concept “Disability as a Narrative Device”, the duo's representation explores how disability is often misrepresented within cultural narratives and discourse as an inspiration porn, an objectification of disabled people as inspirations to non-disabled people on the basis of their life circumstances. The performances and exhibition offer a critical point of view with performance art to queer and crip the existing biased cultural narratives and represent a fully fleshed-out human experience of people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ and women. 

The presentation explores distinct body experiences of two queer and crip artists in both Mainland China and Hong Kong, challenging heteronormative and ableist societal norms and expanding the boundaries of performance with the concerns regarding gender fluidity, queerness, cripdom as an authentic narrative device for the marginalized.
