So far, he’s my favorite guest speaker. Ming is very thoughtful. He clearly knows what he wants to do and he’s implementing his idea creatively. Ming’s focus on Asian queer community is insightful: as an Asian myself, I’ve never paid attention to how Asian queer communities might have been differentiated from the traditional white queer community. Also, I like his idea of relating art to political events. Indeed, safe arts (in his term, arts that are distant from politics) may not leave me with much impression but “wow”, whereas arts related to politics are memorable. His ability to give all explanations for every element in his project further demonstrates that he’s given full thoughts for everything he’s doing. Finally, I agree with his idea that if we’re against colonialism, then colonialism of all kinds (not only white’s) are to be against. Growing up, I have seen so many people that have double standards on this issue: as if a miserable past makes muscle-showing now justifiable. I’m really glad that he pointed this out.
