This screening explores identity, boundaries, and migration through the lens of Queer theory and the Asian diaspora, critically engaging with colonial and postcolonial discourse. Boundaries, often seen as rigid markers of identity and belonging, are revealed as fluid and mutable, shaped by historical contexts and personal experiences. Featuring works by artists such as Vita Mikju, Tzusoo, and Hyunjin La, the programme examines how Queer identities intersect with diasporic experiences in a dynamic ‘third space,’ as theorised by Homi Bhabha.
From burlesque performances reclaiming narratives of self-expression to animated shorts reflecting on intersectional identity, these films highlight the lived realities of the Asian diaspora while questioning societal norms and elevating underrepresented voices. By challenging cultural hierarchies and celebrating resilience, this screening aligns with Fringe Arts Bath’s mission to bring experimental, intersectional art to audiences, fostering connection, reflection, and critical engagement.
Starting with a 20min music performance, this screening is free, wth a donations bar.
