About What We Should Have Talked – window showcase - The poster series developed from research into documented reports, published testimonies, and discriminatory misinformation concerning Asian people during the pandemic while being a resident at the Frans Masereel Centrum. Each poster doesn’t have a bold impact itself, but the audience is able to find a narrative through the whole series of 10 posters. The stories on the posters include partial realities, neither fictitious nor hyperbolized. This window showcase was a part of Gentle Strategizing at MaMA, which was a selected art-activist collective activity program.
About What We Should Have Talked -A show at Growing Space - Growing Space Wielewaal is a cultural and social place for the community of Wielewaal in south Rotterdam, by and for neighbors and artists, to come together in the corona time. The exhibitions are accessible to audiences without having to enter the space allowing a more inclusive and safe environment for all. Lee’s participation included both an exhibition of new works and an artist talk on themes surrounding anti-Asian racism with micro-aggression and invisible violence.
One’s Very Personal Moments - This feminist film screening series was held with Neverland Cinema and WORM-Pirate Bay collaboration. The selected films had focused upon themes concerning domestic abuse, fear and tension, menstruation, and abortion. The four sessions of the screening included Q&A and discussion time and the audience gave diverse questions and feedback. It's a part of Your Bluestocking Society project.
A Blue Zine For The Blood - Programmed as one of the Zine Camp events at WORM, the workshop opened with a public discussion on menstruation and the taboos that still surround it. Participants were given the opportunity to freely explore their thoughts and ideas about periods by producing conceptual zines using only the colour blue as an opposite expression of colour pink which had been represented for women.
