After the pandemic-induced blurring of fantasy and reality, *Queering Now *酷兒鬧*2021: DREAMALITY* responds with a magical digital queer-topia of films, talks and performances, commissioned by[ **Chinese Arts Now** ](http://www.chineseartsnow.org.uk/?ref=scenemag.co.uk)and curated by London-based performance artist and Chinese drag king, [**Whiskey Chow**](http://www.whiskeychow.com/?ref=scenemag.co.uk).

This year’s programme gives a platform to the marginalised voices of the Sino/Asian queer diaspora in the West. Retreating from censorship, the imperatives of Western consumption and the eroticisation of Asian queer bodies by the white gaze, *Queering Now* sees artists **April Lin**, **Bangbang Rudy**, **Chenta Tsai**, **LI YILEI**, **Lu Yang**, **Mathis Zhang**, **Ming Wong**, **Scotty So**, **Sin Wai Kin** (aka **Victoria Sin**), **Su Hui-Yu**, **Whiskey Chow**, **Xiao Lu**, **Yarli Alliso**n, **Yau Ching**, **Yu Cheng-Ta** and **Zhu Dansiyu** explore their relationship with cultural heritage, identity and gender politics.

Whiskey Chow: Masculinism

Whiskey Chow says: “*The featured artists share international backgrounds and diasporic experience. They let us reflect on our relationship with Chinese cultural heritage when we live in the West, when we are in-between. They confront cultural taboos, play with stereotypes and claim back the gaze. They visualise the non-binary identity by mastering their digital body, they create their own narrative and agency for placing memories, death and themselves.*”

Chinese Arts Now is the UK’s leading platform for British Chinese artists working across artforms. It produces and curates high-quality art that is diverse, vibrant and tells Chinese stories in contemporary and innovative ways.
