Film Screening and Panel Talk: Queer/Feminist Activism in CHINA. Tradition and Reform

How is queer activism/movement portrayed in mainland China? How about the feminist revolution? In the late 90s towards the beginning of the Millennium, a group of social activists, socially-engaged artists, and academics who engaged in speaking up for diversity and gender equality built queer/feminist communities to empower women and sexual minorities. They strive to re-think gender hierarchy, re-define the identity of women, and recast the discourse of gender/ sexuality. Decades later, these beautiful memories and precious experiences play a significant role in the queer and feminist history in China, which illuminates hope and light of freedom, and paves a way for new generations in the future.

In original with English subtitles. A discussion with Ms Pei, a Chinese activist and student living in Germany, follows. The discussion will be held in English.
