Jessica Su-Yin KWOK
Grants
To research feminist historiography, performance, and time-based practices in Indonesia and Vietnam. Kwok will investigate feminist and feminized performance practices in the two countries, drawing on methodologies articulated by Indonesian art historian Wulan Dirgantoro. By engaging artists and scholars in Indonesia whose practices exemplify the feminist strategies Dirgantoro identifies, Kwok aims to learn how feminist performance emerged historically within Indonesian art discourse and how practitioners continue to navigate intersections of religion, politics, and agency. In Vietnam, she will meet artists and collectives whose works traverse ritual, domestic labor, and the politics of visibility to understand how feminized gestures and embodied practices articulate critical perspectives on gender, sovereignty, and social constraint. Kwok hopes to learn how feminist performance in both countries circulates through transnational exchanges and shared vocabularies of intimacy and desire.
