I’m Ge Xuanxi, a Chinese artist, feminist, and activist investigating the topics of queer theory and feminism.
As a lesbian who lives in China, I have experienced prejudice and discrimination. By engaging with humanism and social concern in my practice is my way of using art as a means to spread my voices and express my feelings.
I usually show these topics through multimedia-based installations. At the same time, I‘m also expanding the possibilities of my artistic creation, such as bio-art. While in my early works, artist books often appear because of my background in visual communication. But no matter how the form changes, my original intention of artistic creation and expression has not changed.
