Q***r Feminist Approaches to Media, Art & Resistance
🗓 6 May (Wed)
⏰ 20:00–22:00

How do images circulate, accumulate, and overheat in our current media landscape?
Join us for a collective deep dive into chapters 3 & 4 of Hito Steyerl’s Medium Hot: Images in the Age of Heat.
Together, we’ll rethink images through thermodynamic logics rather than linear time, and critically engage with the shifting politics of visibility, power, and generative AI from q***r feminist perspectives.
✨ Open discussion
✨ Interdisciplinary insights
✨ Critical tools for the age of AI & image saturation
All CUHK PG students are welcome—come read, think, and resist with us.

Prof. Peng Guoxiang opened the event with an insightful exploration of the Confucian notion of “Being One Body with All Things”, followed by a stimulating dialogue with Prof. Cheng Chungyi. The discussion then extended to the audience, drawing enthusiastic participation from scholars and students interested in Confucianism, Daoism, and religious philosophy.
Many thanks to all our speakers and participants for making the event such an engaging exchange.
