D/Arts Sessions
Encouraging Practices
The event series D/Arts Sessions takes a closer look at collective and community-based forms of collaboration. In this session, we explore how people work together in art and community projects. Led by the artist collective Mai Ling, we focus on creating places and networks for people who face discrimination.
Mai Ling presents a diverse array of artistic and discursive practices to address strategies to navigate conditions shaped by intersectional discrimination and microaggressions while seeking transformative and collective emancipation and healing.
Mai Ling, which started in Vienna in 2019, is an anonymous artist collective. They talk about and deal with racism, sexism, homophobia, and other unfair treatment, especially against Asian FLINT* (women, lesbian, inter*, non-binary, and trans*).
