Cenote Workshop
2021-now
Collaborative Community Workshop project by Mei Liu and Jia Y Ding
participatory workshop, live performances, interdisciplinary artistic research
Cenote Workshop is a long-term collaborative project co-founded by Mei Liu and Jia Y. Ding that explores mysticism, performance and art making using improvisation techniques in search of creative freedom under cultural censorship, and reach collective healing.
Transitioning from the intial weekly workshops, Cenote is now an art research and practice project that creates a fictional cosmology (another world) paralleling with our contemporary. We explore possibilities for Spiritual Activism with socially engaged workshop, theater, performance, moving images, writing, self-publishing and curatorial practice within and beyond the two worlds.
