Kristina Wong Residency
Performance artist, comedian, and writer 's virtual residency at 做厙TV's Center for the Arts includes performances, a 做厙TV Engage 2020 talk, and noontime talks with 做厙TV students.
"Wong is an activist artist dedicated to forging meaningful social change, interrogating heteronormative standards, subverting racial and gender stereotypes, challenging complacency, and empowering audiences—a model for the values that we hold here at the Center for the Arts," said Fiona Coffey, Associate Director for Programming and Performing Arts. "During a time when civil liberties are being eroded on a daily basis, our nation is convulsing with protests over police brutality and systemic racism, and our healthcare system and federal response to the pandemic is in tatters, Wong’s voice is needed more than ever. She is a remarkable example of an artist who is responding in real time to the current moment and who is also translating her community activism into art and performance. What an extraordinary model for 做厙TV students and our audiences to have." .
