Catamite by Loo Zihan

What relationship do we share with our possessions?

How can we orient ourselves to these things differently?

This intimate interactive performance takes the form of an artist lecture and dialogue where Zihan will share his experiences of staging his installation Queer Objects: An Archive for the Future (2016), an assemblage of objects for a hypothetical queer archive in Singapore. Through participatory activities, the audience will join Zihan in an examination of the fictional and factual, virtual and actual potential of objects, and meditate on the contingency of identity and being.

Catamite was developed under Centre 42's Basement Workshop (now known as the Creation Residency). Read about Basement Workshop here.
