Abstract

ABSTRACT This photo essay juxtaposes two instances of projection-based protest activism that occurred at the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles. These guerilla acts of protest art brought together critical text and iconic imagery to offer a pointed criticism of the Chinese government. The selection of images and language included in the projections offer insight into the complexities of the competing nationalisms that exist between the United States, China, and Hong Kong by means of a visual and spatial politic. Through this bringing together of similar, yet differentiated imagery, I gesture toward a more nuanced understanding of visuality, site-specificity, and nationalisms through creative resistance practices.
