Live Art Mixer: Zine Workshop with Artizine & Mini Zine Fair

Oyester

Born in Kunming, Yunnan, Oyester (Funa Ye, she/her) is an artist and researcher who lives and works in London and Beijing. Her practice critically engages with the realities of daily life and the perceived nexus between authority and various societal domains, such as differing power structures and marginalised groups. Her politically charged art uses pastiche to critique and satirise cultural uniformity.

Burong Zeng

Burong Zeng (she/xe) is a creative producer and live artist based in London and Beijing, working at the intersection of critical disability studies, queer cultures and transnational collaboration. With a PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies from the University of Sussex, Zeng maintains a distinctive practice that bridges artistic creation, academic rigour and independent producing.

00 Zhang

00 Zhang (she/it) is a Chinese-born, London-based artist who is gaining a reputation with her innovative explorations of a sensibility she terms ‘a double-sided exile’ – entwined feelings of dislocation and connection. Thematically, her practice investigates the potential of a new form of collective imagination to transcend the borders of national identity, gender, and religion. Her multifaceted practice spans sculpture, installation, CGI animation, and interactive digital game environments.

OUTLAND

OUTLAND platforms creative publishing from Chinese and Sino-diasporic communities in London and beyond. Through its annual Outland Publishing Fair and pop-up Outland Convini, it seeks to cultivate a dynamic network fostering translocal and intercultural exchange among independent Sinophone publishers worldwide.

SickGirl

A photographer based in mainland China, SickGirl (she/they) was selected from 4,746 contestants for the 2015 Xitek Emerging Photographer Award at 18. They continue creating provocative, poetic images, often exploring sexuality and the brutality of youth life in the political context. They photograph everything without rushing to finish projects, collecting images naturally.

Pubis Project

Starting from 2024, Pubis Project has been using indie publishing and events as methods of connection and empowerment for Chinese feminist and Queer diasporic communities. We build an intimate yet radical space where fugitivity, critical care and dissident joy can coexist. Annually, Pubis Project explores diasporic experiences through a chosen theme, producing an annual issue of Pubis Magazine and organising a series of related events, workshops and exhibitions.
