huochongzi is an independent journalist and cross-disciplinary artist. Intersecting sensory archives, biopolitics, and queer-feminist ecologies, her writing traces the historical trauma stored in the body and how it, at times, gives birth to a language of resilience. Her work appears in publications including Sixth Tone, Los Angeles Times, BIE, Qilu Criticism, and Initium Media. She has photographed borderlands, migrant labor, queer collectives,  depopulated villages, and Yangon's underground music scene, among others.

​

She actively practices a trauma-informed, creative approach to social engagement. Through nonviolent collage workshops, screenings of queer cinema from Myanmar, or meditation courses tailored for care workers during the pandemic, she creates alternative spaces for collective memory. Her projects inhabit contexts ranging from deep hutong alleyways to the Institute of Contemporary Arts at NYU Shanghai.

​

She holds an MA in Journalism from the University of Hong Kong.

火虫子

 

写作者、跨学科艺术家，聆听缝隙之处的多声部。毕业于香港大学新闻系，她的写作交织去殖民、残障正义、生态女性主义等主题，以此追溯身体中的历史创伤，以及，幸运的话，它如何孕育出新的语言。她的作品曾于澎湃新闻、Sixth Tone、BIE别的、端传媒、歧路批评等多家媒体发布。她深信，写作首先是关于聆听的劳动。在跨文化、跨感官的书写中，她探寻语言如何承载无法被翻译、却亟需被感知的生命经验。

 

在写作和摄影之外，她也践行着一种创伤知情的社会参与方式，比如非暴力拼贴画工作坊、为助人者提供的公益冥想活动、影像放映、自然教育、去殖民翻译工作坊等。她的项目穿行于不同语境之中，从深藏于胡同巷弄的替代空间，到上海纽约大学当代艺术中心。
