Welcome to UNCENSORED 17-18-19 May London. A three-day festival exploring art at the intersection of pornography and activism. If you like this event why not buy a festival PASS to have full access to the programme whilst making big savings.
Whiskey Chow will close UNCENSORED's programme with her new performance Uncensored Censored
Whiskey Chow is a London-based artist and Chinese drag king. Her artistic practice explores themes of female and queer masculinity as well as stereotypes and cultural projections of Chinese/Asian identity and problematises the nation-state across geographic boundaries through interdisciplinary performance, moving image and experimental sound pieces.
Uncensored Censored, is a piece of work which has been censored previously in the UK for the reason of “not family friendly enough and a bad influence to kids”. “Uncensored Censored” rejects the binaries, queers the masculinity, reconstructs the imagination of power and vulnerability by extracting softness out of stiffness.
