Citing Bar

Summary:

The collaborative project ‘Seeds for Solidarity’ between Punos and curator Hung-Fei Wu will be realized in the format of an annual curatorial project “Citing Bar”, the title of which is derived from the term “Politics of Citation” to correspond to the core spirit of the project, that is, to acknowledge origins, borders and ordeals, thereby building a sense of solidarity for the purpose of enabling land, the environment, human and more-than-human to prosper together.

While stimulating cross-cultural knowledge production, ‘citing bar’ wishes to explore various forms of knowledge, ecological wisdom, and non-Western worldviews transmitting transformative energy into this planet that is bombarded by multiple crises and conflicts. Apart from exhibitions, participatory events including research, reading, writing and publication will be organised to raise sustained awareness of care and justice.

‘Citing Bar’ will unfold as four sub-projects at Solid Art Gallery in Taipei, Taiwan in 2023 with each sub-project looking at core concepts on rest, healing, mental health, crip ecology and climate justice.
