The Delfina Foundation has invited Tzu-Tung Lee 李紫彤 (ze/zir), curator, political activist, and conceptual artist from Taiwan, to join them in London for a residency that will last from the 10th of July to the 29th of September, 2023.

The artist’s practice combines anthropological field research, political concerns, and economic activism. Zir projects explore the negotiation with political, gender, and illness identities. Moreover, Tzu-Tung’s projects also include participatory methods by inviting participants as collective creators to queer up the contemporary authorities. Zir works focus on how one can survive, manipulate, and regain autonomy through zir identities, with special attention on the hegemony of Chinese Sino-centrism, the trauma of modernity, the regain of indigeneity, and the current epistemological injustice.

During zir residency at Delfina Foundation, Tzu-Tung will use the time to develop playbooks that convert our approach to Taiwan’s probable warfare, asking that we artfully, creatively, and purposefully playfully rethink our most pressured political matters.
