Q***r Feminist Approaches to Media, Art & Resistance

How do images circulate, accumulate, and overheat in our current media landscape?

Join us for a collective deep dive into chapters 3 & 4 of Hito Steyerlโ€™s Medium Hot: Images in the Age of Heat.

Together, weโ€™ll rethink images through thermodynamic logics rather than linear time, and critically engage with the shifting politics of visibility, power, and generative AI from q***r feminist perspectives.

โœจ Open discussion
โœจ Interdisciplinary insights
โœจ Critical tools for the age of AI & image saturation

All CUHK PG students are welcomeโ€”come read, think, and resist with us.

The inaugural session of the CUHKโ€“ZJU Distinguished Humanities Dialogues was successfully held on 27 April 2026 at the Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS), CUHK.

Prof. Peng Guoxiang opened the event with an insightful exploration of the Confucian notion of โ€œBeing One Body with All Thingsโ€, followed by a stimulating dialogue with Prof. Cheng Chungyi. The discussion then extended to the audience, drawing enthusiastic participation from scholars and students interested in Confucianism, Daoism, and religious philosophy.

Many thanks to all our speakers and participants for making the event such an engaging exchange.
