The idea of The New Normal Project - 05/07

# data[].attributes.body
As we all know, the 1990s is the era of ballroom culture from the edge to the mainstream. But in the mainland China, ballroom culture is just a whole new thing to public.

LGBTQ+ group has lived a hard life in the mainland China. Nowadays, young people begin to understand and adopt who we are and how we live. But we still have to fight for our rights and gain the respect from straight people and public.

The activities such as ballroom can make a chance that we can show our culture, find the sense of belonging and enjoy ourselves. People can also find their confidence through ballroom dancing. The drag queens are so stunning, inspiring and glamour on the stage.

The 44KW club just held the very first ballroom in Shanghai, China in 02/07. The categories in that night were "Fabulous", "Runway" and "OTA". And also 2 of my friends took part in the competition that night.

It was quite a big step forward in promoting LGBTQ+ culture in the mainland China. I also want to do something for the LGBTQ+ group as a gay. So I want to make this idea as the starting point of The New Normal Project. And through this project, I want to explore how drag queen live in China and show to public to let them know we are not weird but have a strong and proud heart inside just as any other people in the world.

With the improvement of the epidemic in 2019-nCoV, the government lifted the ban on our city, and people were free to do almost anything they wanted outside. After months of lockdown, people's lives became frustrating, so people went out after the ban was lifted to enjoy the "free" time that should have belonged to them.

The government has opened up the "stall economy" business model, so that more people can participate in the economic recovery. More and more people took to the streets. From the photos I took, I found that only a small number of people in the crowd were still wearing masks. When the epidemic has not been completely resolved, is this "happiness" good or bad?

The Covid-19 outbreak has seen sweeping changes across the art world, as galleries have been forced to close their doors to visitors and the cultural calendar of exhibitions and talks has dissipated. But artists have been swift to adapt to the situation, finding new ways to share work with their audiences online.

Isolated life is both an opportunity and a challenge for artistic creation. Artists have plenty of time for self-reflection, which for some people will keep a calmer state of mind. At the same time, how to maintain the motivation and passion of creation in these isolated days is a difficult and challengeable problem. Perhaps this “new normal life” can provide new inspirations for creation to the artists. How to use limited tools and ways to create and display art works is also a problem that we need to think about in this special period.
