Land As Anchor is a performance drawing that is inspired by the belief and history of the worshipping of 土地公 (TuDi Gong), a Chinese deity that was often brought along with by Chinese migrants for protection in the new land. The performance draws from this history and belief as a way of thinking about migrants’ diasporic relationship to land - the land they or their parents/grandparents migrated to and the ancestral homeland that was left behind.
A meditative performance with Iris Chan, created collaboratively for Nocturnal Creatures Festival at Whitechapel Gallery in July 2022, curated by Ruth Lie.
