Boundaries, Identity, and the Asian Queer Diaspora
Venue • The Old Post Office • BA1 1BA • click for map
Film Screening ● time & date TBC ●
This screening explores identity, boundaries, and migration through the lens of Queer theory and the Asian diaspora, critically engaging with colonial and postcolonial discourse. Boundaries, often seen as rigid markers of identity and belonging, are revealed as fluid and mutable, shaped by historical contexts and personal experiences. Featuring works by artists such as Vita Mikju, Tzusoo, and Hyunjin La, the programme examines how Queer identities intersect with diasporic experiences in a dynamic ‘third space,’ as theorised by Homi Bhabha.
From burlesque performances reclaiming narratives of self-expression to animated shorts reflecting on intersectional identity, these films highlight the lived realities of the Asian diaspora while questioning societal norms and elevating underrepresented voices. By challenging cultural hierarchies and celebrating resilience, this screening aligns with Fringe Arts Bath’s mission to bring experimental, intersectional art to audiences, fostering connection, reflection, and critical engagement.
Total duration: 112 minutes.

This has emerged as a variety of topics in her previous projects, in which she recently studied decolonisation and minority issues with an interest in interdisciplinary methods and how these factors can come tangibly in unspecified time and space.
Nam has been browsing the borderlines among diverse fields, especially performances based on materialised technology in post-traditional spaces with active public interactions, regarding the way to focus on the sustainability of art itself and the environment without any kinds of debris from spectacularly materialised exhibitions.
