momoration returns to Mouse, this time in partnership with the Living Room to explore a series of site-specific art projects based in Wuhan, China. We will first focus on the “East Lake Art Project” (2016), where artists and concerned citizens near the historical East Lake area used various spontaneously organized art installations and activities to protest real estate development. The mockumentary, “Li Wen at East Lake,” both theorizes and documents the tactics of this project. We will make translations of the essays generated from this event available a week prior to the screening to provide a deeper dive.

6:30-8:30 screening

8:30-9:30 discussion and letter writing
