In this episode of Canvas Talks, recorded at Studio Pandora in TivoliVredenburg, we meet Xu Yixin & Kuangyi Xing. In Gaze, the creators explore their bodies' resistance to the daily gaze, from the perspective of a person of color living in the West.

Based on traumatic experiences with sexual harassment in the workplace, their work doesn't offer an answer to this everyday problem, but rather evokes an intangible feeling of itching and discomfort—the same discomfort you experience when you're stared at. It serves as bodily resistance to the gaze of those in positions of power.

CANVAS is het hypnotiserende videokunstwerk van 150m2 op de zesde verdieping in TivoliVredenburg. CANVAS is elke vrijdag gratis te bezoeken in Park 6 in TivoliVredenburg. Met dank aan: Bud en Mr. Beam.
