  Queer Crip Archive Exhibition 酷兒、夬兒行為檔案展覽 

13 JUN — 20 JUL 2025

4/F Tomorrow Maybe, Eaton HK

Inspired by David T. Mitchell and Sharon L. Snyder’s concept “Disability as a Narrative Device”, the duo's representation explores how disability is often misrepresented within cultural narratives and discourse as an inspiration porn, an objectification of disabled people as inspirations to non-disabled people on the basis of their life circumstances. The performances and exhibition offer a critical point of view with performance art to queer and crip the existing biased cultural narratives and represent a fully fleshed-out human experience of people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ and women. 

The presentation explores distinct body experiences of two queer and crip artists in both Mainland China and Hong Kong, challenging heteronormative and ableist societal norms and expanding the boundaries of performance with the concerns regarding gender fluidity, queerness, cripdom as an authentic narrative device for the marginalized .

受到 David T. Mitchell 和 Sharon L. Snyder 提出的概念「以身心障礙為敘事手法」啟發，王溪曼和楊小芳的作品探索身心障礙在文化敘事和論述中經常被歪曲為勵志故事的情形—— 即將身心受障者物化為非身心受障人士的榜樣。展覽與表演透過行為藝術，以酷兒和夬兒（Crip）的視角，解構並批判充滿偏見的文化敘事，帶出身心受障人士、LGBTQ+ 群體完整真實的人類體驗。

展覽圍繞兩位酷兒和夬兒藝術家於中國大陸和香港的獨特身體經驗，挑戰異性戀及非身心受障人士的傳統社會規範，並延伸表演內容至性別流動性、酷兒、身心受障者邊緣化等議題，敘出小眾群體的真實故事。
