Flower No Flower Screening Program
Venue: Accent Sisters (150 Bay Street, Jersey City, NJ)
Date: October 5th, 2024

In conjunction with the exhibition Meandering, Spiraling and Unraveling, on view at Accent Sisters through October 12th, 2024, this screening program further explores the devastating erasure and removal of experiences of marginalized bodies within knowledge production. Selected works delve into topics of displacement, estrangement, and restoration, grounded in a time of territorial cracks.

Derived from Bai Juyi’s poem, the phrase ‘flower no flower’ captures the transient moment between arrival and departure through the passage of time and different hegemonic orders. Instead of resorting to escapism or defensiveness for personal and collective liberation, each work suggests a relationship to the outer reality with continuous observation, interaction and expression at its core.
