Amy Wong‘s performative artist talk, Angry Asian Feminist Loves Detox Soup, will be conceptualized around her mother Regina Wong’s recipe for Lok Dou Sa, a sweet mung bean detox soup. By framing artistic gesture as a means for detoxification, she will discuss various projects, highlighting an organic working process, and reflecting on how doing what one isn’t supposed to can be a cathartic point of departure. Drawing connections between painting, mixtape making, motherhood, social practice, and the founding of the group the Angry Asian Feminist Gang (AAFG), Wong will describe how expansiveness can destabilize conventional systems or ways of being.
