Join giant of the Taiwanese Art World Chen Chieh-jen in an intimate in-conversation exploring his long history of working with non-professional performers in his video works; from workers of the gig economy, to unhoused folks in Taiwan. Chieh-jen will speak to the urgency of sharing one’s stories, the necessity of sharing them in one’s own voice, and the systems of power that traditionally bar people from the opportunity to do so.
