We’re really fortunate to have artists nnscya (Annisa Cheung) and Wong Winsome Dumalagan visiting London from Hong Kong this May. nnscya’s and Winsome’s practices are representative of the practical and imaginary responses to their lives in Hong Kong and the wider region. In terms of the media they work with—in Winsome’s case film and installation, and in nnscya’s, sound and music—I’ve always been struck by how meaningful and engaging the directions they take have been, their aesthetics reflecting a reality that allows for dream-like observations and a magical reinterpretation of mundaneness; in terms of the creative scenes of Hong Kong, they have feet in both the official and the underground, which is perhaps a characteristic trait of relatively small communities.

EVENT: Mouthpiece & Trail Shoes: nnscya & Wong Winsome Dumalagan
While I’m in the UK, I’m taking the opportunity to plan some events for visiting artists – those I have worked with in Hong Kong either directly or who hold a relation to the spaces for experimental performance there that I have been documenting. In early May Hong Kong artists Annisa Cheung (aka nnscya) and Wong Winsome Dumalagan will be in town for a few days, and we have arranged the event ‘Mouthpiece & Trail Shoes’ on the 7th of May at the artist-run venue Eat the Sunshine . Down the Sun in South London. The evening will include a solo performance by Annisa, a screening by Winsome, a collaborative performance by them both, and finally I will join them for a conversation about their work. Hopefully we will meet there!
