A video poem that discusses the complex relationship between Chinese queer identities and diasporic experiences in Western Society. By using an ancient Chinese philosophy, “Penumbrae Question Shadow (罔两问影)”, Kara Li challenges the binary structure of Western identity politics and Euro-American conceptualisations of queerness.
