RSVP for Anchi LIN (Ciwas Tahos) PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP

QUEERING: The Land in the Middle of the Pond

The performance workshop is based on the Atayal name exchange ritual depicted in the film The Land in the Middle of the Pond, in which Ciwas and other Atayal women participate. This ritual involves the exchange of names between humans and plants. Ciwas uses this customary practice as a symbolic gesture to reconnect with her ancestral land and affirm her identity in the past, present, and future.


Participants should prepare a plant (even a single leaf, flower, or any other part of a plant) with which they feel a strong connection and would like to engage in an exchange. The artist will introduce her concept, and through the performance, participants will have the opportunity to share their relationship with plants.

Max capacity: 12 people
Duration: 1 hour


2023.12.10 SUNDAY  14:00-15:00
@WORM, Rotterdam
Boomgaardsstraat 71, 3012 XA Rotterdam


This performance work is part of Listening nearby, through soils and seas, Asian Movie Night Seasonal Festival - Winter 2023. More information about the program.

Anchi LIN (Ciwas Tahos)
ABOUT THE ARTIST

Anchi LIN (Ciwas Tahos) is a Taipei, Taiwan, raised and based new media and performance Artist of Atayal / Itaṟal and Taiwanese Hō-ló descent. Ciwas's body-centred practice weaves Indigenous Atayal worldview through performance, moving image, cyberspace, ceramics and kinetic installation to claim a self-determined queer space. Following a BFA in Visual Art at Simon Fraser University (Canada), she will complete an MFA in New Media Art at Taipei National University of the Arts (Taiwan). Ciwas's work is an exploration of cultural and gender identity, using her body as a medium to trace their experiences with linguistic and cultural displacement and seek out new queer forms of understanding beyond the hetero-patriarchal status quo.
