The Body is More Than This

Arts, Performing Arts, Sunday Arts Magazine

We perceive bodies as borders; curved spines that push against the weight of the world. Like a rising tide changing the shoreline they are constantly becoming – tender, flexing, magnetic and yielding. Repeatedly repairing themselves, yet falling prey to time and the limits of perception.

Curated by Kin Francis, The Body is More Than This presents visual narratives from six artists who identify as gender diverse and nonbinary. Works in this exhibition permeate across many ideas, from reckoning with histories of migration, experimenting with gender expression outside of Western restraints, and defining relationships with lands and family across distances.

Surrounded by the pillars and architecture of the Immigration Museum’s ground floor – Caleb Thaiday, Elijah Money, Luce Nguyễn-Hunt, Ari Tampubolon, Indra Liusuari, Kin Francis and Shin propose a new way of experiencing our bodies; seeing past borders: beyond preconceived cisgender identity and colonial understandings.
