On Thursday, September 5th, 2024, The Performing Asian American & Diasporic Sexualities Working Group will conduct a studio visit and artist talk with Kim Ye titled Content Warning: Ecologies of Sex and Motherhood, on East Asian femininity, erotic labor, and the collision of the domestic with the apocalyptic.

This virtual event will take place from 4-5 pm over Zoom. It will feature excerpts from Kim Ye’s latest experimental film, Mother Fucker, followed by a conversation between UC Berkeley Performance Studies PhD candidate Zihan Loo and Kim Ye. This dialogue will explore gendered constructions around power, taboo, and the entanglement between public space and private desire. Lastly, there will be an audience Q&A.

Sponsored by Townsend Center for the Humanities, Asian American Research Center, Institute of East Asian Studies, Gender and Women’s Studies, Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies, Transpacific & Asian American Art Working Group, and Sex Work Working Group.
