Medium Spicy 2 | 黑芝麻 (Hei Zhi Ma) x Sydney Farey

A self-exploration of the body during isolation.
Lovingly morphing // flesh touching pleasure and pain // in beautiful skin

Medium Spicy 2 is presented by Asian-Australian artist collective Big Bao. A second iteration of Medium Spicy 2019, this virtual project pairs 3 sound artists with 3 visual artists to create a series of works bringing together the richness of the Asian-Australian creative experience.

“In this project, we want to be able to give audiences the chance to share a contemporary understanding of Asian-Australian community with us, beyond the red bean cakes and straw mat gatherings portrayed in stereotyped understandings of Asian diaspora. As migrants and children of migrants, these contemporary understandings start within our personal worlds and move beyond them, into our families, communities, double identities and ancestors.

We hope that Medium Spicy 2 can be a way to share these feelings and moods.”
