Poetry Spells: Offerings to the Wound

by Byuka aka Fortune Tailed Beast




Howling prayers. These sensuous whispers made flesh with our collective pulse. Invocations of protection - the resonance of salt and honey. 

A poetry reading spellcasting loving justice for the outcasted ones - human and non-human, witches and ancestors.

She Ritual: Solo dance and performance art piece inspired by ancient Nuo rituals

by Ling Huang



“She Ritual” is a solo dance and performance art piece inspired by ancient Nuo rituals, reinterpreted through a contemporary feminist lens. The performer engages with space and symbolic props—white rice scattered on the ground, red threads representing life and vitality, and hand-held bells marking rhythm—to explore themes of purification, spiritual energy, and feminine power. Movements flow from grounded, meditative postures to dynamic spins and extensions, reflecting the cyclical nature of ritual energy. Through the interplay of light, sound, and gesture, the piece invites the audience into a sacred, contemplative space, bridging ancient cultural symbols with modern expressions of female agency and inner strength. She Ritual is both a homage to traditional ritual and a reflection on the enduring resonance of feminine presence in contemporary art.

Rite in Lingering Ground: A ritual Performance of queer desire and quiet resistance

by Lanyun Huang



Functioning as a companion piece to artist on going project The Rat Eater(2025), this work unfolds a ritual of queer archaeology, excavating desires that have long been buried under social regulation. Through actions such as breathing and the burning of skin, the artist releases queer affect from the dual constraints of pathologization and romanticization. The performance resists becoming a mere re-enactment of pain. Instead, it transforms suffering into a non-productive mode of existence, one that refuses to be healed and rejects aesthetic consumption.Within a minimal ritual structure, the work constructs a distinct queer temporality, allowing emotional experiences excluded from dominant narratives to persist, not seeking recognition, but enduring like a ghost.
