'There Are Gods Around Us' is a durational performance and installation. Telling stories about the imaginary gods and performing a made-up ritualistic dance, we look at how these acts transform our mental and physical states. Taking reference from East Asian mythology, traditions and rituals, it is a queer and Asian work that looks into what hope means in our age of great instability and crisis. The work has been commissioned by Deptford X, Young Blood Initiative and Reflect Fest, and presented at Whitechapel Gallery's First Thursday, Making Space, Studio 101 and artsdepot. It is a project in collaboration with Bettina Fung and Isabella Leung.
