Championing queering as an un-methodology to navigate life, society, and paradigms, the cities of Bangkok and Taipei were explored from the outermost surface to the overlooked depths, where histories, herstories, and theirstories strove to thrive beneath the cities' thicker, flashier skins. Stories in these cities not only brushed around their glamorous, advertised attributes, but also rooted in and emerged from their erased pasts, hushed voices, and alienated beings.

 

Artists of the 2024 ADAM Artist Lab engaged in dialogue with alternative narratives of diverse communities through locale-specific guidance from guest local artists, navigated how each fell and/or rose, and in the process formed their own artistic community to reflect upon their findings.
