Foregrounding the body and affect, I will consider the exhibition WOMEN <\/em>\u6211\u5011<\/em>, organized by Abby Chen, that traveled from Shanghai (2011) to San Francisco (2012) and Miami (2013) through what I refer to as \u201carchipelagic feeling.\u201d WOMEN <\/em>\u6211\u5011<\/em> explored queer Chinese feminism, and in a nod to cities where the venues were located, the curators expanded the checklist at each leg of the tour. In this way, the curators aimed not to essentialize or center queer Chinese feminism but productively connect it to (for example) Latinx subjectivities and Asian-American feminist concerns. In so doing, I suggest this exhibition offers a new framework for thinking about the transnational through both queerness and creolization.<\/p>\nSpeaker: Dr. Alpesh Kantilal Patel<\/strong><\/p>\nAlpesh Kantilal Patel is an associate professor of contemporary art at Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University.
