This episode is a conversation between artists Wu Tsang and Tosh Basco. Wu is an award winning filmmaker and performance artist, whose works explore hidden histories, marginalised narratives, and the act of performing itself. Tosh is a multidisciplinary performance artist and photographer, whose work enfolds language, becoming, and representation together; within spaces where these are typically understood as discrete entities.
In the conversation, Wu and Tosh discuss their collaboration, emphasising relationality and care in times of crisis. They reflect on their various works exploring life, death, and rebirth. They touch on the impact of capitalism, societal collapse, the fluidity of identity and memory. This conversation was recorded in a studio in London.
