Fragile Oasis: Queer space and queer quest of identity in Urban China
This project explores queer individuals and their quest for identity in urban China, with a primary focus on queer spaces in Chengdu and Shanghai. My research aims to understand how queer individuals are involved in the process of queer place-making, and the ways they inhabit such spaces. This project will also attempt to investigate queer spaces in terms of its textuality, through sensory approach and affective methodology.
