Chuqi Min (first name pronounced like Choo-Tzi, she/her) studies the art of persons-in-diaspora from the Global Majority during the modern and post-modern periods. With particular interest in art-making and materiality, Chuqi is drawn to the bio-situationality of body-in-space and body's crossing of (physical/digital) borders. Chuqi is also keen to explore the transmission of queer visual culture through East and South Asia.
Chuqi coined “Sinofemcentrism”, emphasizing an anti-colonial, Sino-feminist-centered art historical practice that is grounded in the recognition of plurality, hybridity, locality and cultural specificity of feminisms. Sinofemcentrism recognizes that the study of Sinophone women artists should be liberated from a presumed/aspired alignment with Western, neoliberal feminist histories or ideologies.
