Bio
I have conducted ethnographic research in Shenzhen since 1995, aiming to make legible the shifting cultural landscapes of China’s oldest and fastest growing “Special Economic Zone.” My interests and interventions include theorizing the cultural logics of postsocialist urbanization, photography and creative documentation of the changing cityscape, and ongoing collaboration with Fat Bird Theatre, Shenzhen. Most recently, I have joined CZC Special Forces (城中村特工队), a group using public art projects to bring awareness to the critical diversity and openness of Shenzhen's urbanized villages. More generally, I attempt to document, understand, and critically participate in the post Cold War production of industrial cosmographies, with an eye to imagining cross-culturally resonant forms of sustainable globalization.
