Liv Chung is a Chinese-Australian poet, writer and clinical psychologist living on unceded Wurundjeri land. Her practice navigates the interstitial spaces between art, science, culture and philosophy. Her current work explores the paradoxical tensions and existential question of what it means to be human with privileged and marginalised identities in a time of unprecedented systems growth and collapse. She writes as an act of solidarity, resistance and reconnection to her human and more-than-human kin.

“Who now more than ever need all the light and love it takes to make a final stand and sing their lungs out.

Come. Sing with me.”
