Raffia Li (TA/they), works with poetry melting in minor edges/senses, in forms of performance, video, writing and installation. Their practice focuses on engaging with "otherwise" languages as poetic and political spaces for world building, challenging ableist and normative ways of knowing and valuing. Collaboration is central to their work, both in art-making and organizing. Their current research explores access-making as an ongoing process of rearranging relationships between bodyminds, space, and time. / They tilt in slow dialoguing. Their collaborated projects have been presented in/with Today Art Museum, Guangdong Times Museum, Wuzhen Theatre Festival, Kunstinstituut Melly, Tent Rotterdam, Gasworks, Centre Pompidou, and others.
