Event description:
“My videos arise from questions that tickle or irritate me. They are conceptual or aesthetic knots that I want to unravel.”
Toronto-based, Trinidad-born video artist Richard Fung explores sexuality and race in diaspora lives by crossing the archival and the autobiographical in a hybrid poetics that fuse political insight with compassionate warmth and playful wit. Following a screening of three signature works, he discusses his practice with Kobena Mercer.
