CHEUNG LEE GLOBAL
Performance
13:00 – 16:00
04/05
La Centrale galerie Powerhouse – 4296 Boul. St Laurent, Montréal
Parked outside of La Centrale galerie Powerhouse is a U-Haul trailer. Containing two bamboo mats—one adorned with tangerine peels and the other with hand-packaged fortune cookies, CHEUNG LEE GLOBAL offers nourishment to those passing by.
We look forward to hosting you in our mobile workspace, contemplating relations between moving vehicles, still bodies, parking lots as ephemeral archives, and dating as BIPOC😘.
CHEUNG LEE GLOBAL is an artist collective consisting of Joni Cheung (Snack Witch) and Ahreum Lee. Joni Cheung is a Canadian-born Hong Kong-Chinese queer, anglophone woman based in Montréal since 2019. Ahreum Lee is a Korean-born artist living in Montréal since 2016.
CLG is an artist group exploring the complexities of identity in a world where the movement of people, products, money, and ideologies has become fluid. The collective comes together to collaborate on projects that speak to common research interests around transnationalism, migration, and diasporas. These projects use the artists’ personal experiences as individuals who are marginalized by language, gender, and race to define and share the range of aggressions (micro and macro) their communities live with from day-to-day.
