Kexin Hao
Kexin Hao has an interdisciplinary practice across art, design, and theatre with a focus on performance. Hao combines a variety of media including video, printed matter, choreography, and music, while borrowing archetypes in pop cultures such as aerobic workout, video games, online streaming, puppet theatre, aiming to provide the audience with playful, participatory, and on-site experiences.
What lies at the core of her art making is the creation of experiences addressing history, society and cultural heritage through bodily engagement. She’s interested in the human body in relation to collective memory and political propaganda, as well as the entanglement of humans and pests in health and hygiene campaigns.
