Study of Skin - ChuanFest @Manhattan

How does the body register movement across geographies? How does skin remember a life?

Trying to investigate these questions, Study of Skin unfolds as a lecture performance–turned–video, in which scientific diagrams of dermatitis and the boiling of Chinese herbal medicine coexist. It traces a personal lineage of allergy and eczema the artist was born with, framing it as a disease and also a mark making. Inflammatory and self-repairing, skin becomes a guide for navigating unfamiliar terrains and migrations across geographies.

The venue is wheelchair accessible. For accessible seating, or any other questions related to tickets, please contact us at [email protected].
