Fragmented Hope by Jing Wang

No life shall be born from me to despise my gender.
My flesh and blood shall not become the blade that cuts me.
If the world born from my body is destined to oppress me, I will not let that world be born.

 
Fragmented Hope is a performance about womanhood under dictatorship.

In this world, women become primary targets. Women who refuse to give birth or surrender their daughters to the government are sent to a re-education camp to have their thinking corrected and their bodies prepared for reproduction.

On an inescapable island, how do women survive, resist, and hold on to hope? If motherhood is weaponized, where do women go?

I am Hope. 希望. Harapan. Esperança. Hoop.

Dedicated to the hope we hold onto in this upside-down world.
