“Re-Re: Reshaping the Notion of Resistance” is a series of programmes accompanying the exhibition, A Hundred Years of Shame – Songs of Resistance and Scenarios for Chinese Nations currently on view at Para Site. The series consists of three events, each exploring from different perspectives the appropriate attitudes of artistic creation and cultural production in the face of nationalism.
The final event in the public programme series accompanying the exhibition, A Hundred Years of Shame – Songs of Resistance and Scenarios for Chinese Nations currently on view at Para Site, includes a concert from the Guangdong-based indie folk band Wutiaoren and Hong Kong-based Salad Kowloon. Preceding the performances is a conversation between cultural critic Chang Tieh Chih and Wutiaoren to discuss the development of independent bands in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as the formation of the fictional record label “Xi Kang Records,” which was established especially for A Hundred Years of Shame. Named after the subversive scholar and musician of the Three Kingdoms period, Xi Kang (223–262 CE), the label represents a wide variety of recording artists who produce music of discontent from across the Chinese-speaking world, selected by Chang and Wutiaoren, in addition to sound culture and independent music researchers and curators Amy Cheng and Jeph Lo; and independent musicians Lam P (My Little Airport) and Mei Er (Top Floor Circus).
