In 1992, she began her independent art practice at Yuanmingyuan Artist Village, China’s first community of independent artists. In 2000, she appeared on national television with Li Yinhe and Cui Zi’en to publicly discuss homosexuality, becoming the first lesbian to come out on public TV in China. She starred in Fish and Elephant (2001), the first lesbian-themed feature film from mainland China, which won awards at international film festivals in Venice and Berlin. She also served as the art director of the documentary Dream on the Wall (2010), which won Best Short Film at the Hong Kong Chinese Documentary Film Festival. Her works have been exhibited in Belgium, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United States.

🎉 DRAG UP! 2.0 — SHOWCASE!!! 🎭🌈
Join us for the celebration of Drag Up!2.0 — a decolonising performance making project on the 27th July, at Chats Palace🏛️✨
From this May, 7 Chinese queer came together to explore and decolonise drag performance making, exchanging creative tools, life stories. We spent 2 months together, playing, learning, experimenting, bonding as much as possible 💞
Now it’s time to celebrate💃🔥
We invite you to be part of our authenticity, our radical joy, our contained chaos, our mistake and questioning, our being and becoming, our part of the decolonising in drag.
