Rethinking/Relinking Colonial Ruptures: On Recent Works by Musquiqui Chihying and Hao Jingban

Rethinking/Relinking Colonial Ruptures: On Recent Works by Musquiqui Chihying and Hao Jingban Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art, 2021, vol. 21, no. 1, 94–114 https://doi.org/10.1080/14434318.2021.1934777 Rethinking/Relinking Colonial Ruptures: On Recent Works by Musquiqui Chihying and Hao Jingban Yu-Chieh Li* Introduction: Ruptures in Colonial Histories This article analyses recent essay films directed by Musquiqui Chihying and Hao Jingban, which deploy colonial archives and collaboration in the research process. These essay films offer alternative perspectives to reveal previously underexplored narratives––which in this article I call ‘ruptures’. In literatures on postcolonial con- ditions, the rupture describes the borders separating cultures as a result of colon- isation. Colonial ruptures thus cast previous connections among the non-Western world (e.g. Asia–Africa and other sites of exploitation and extraction) into obliv- ion. The frictions and fissures are not merely discussed in a temporal sense of colonial–postcolonial division here. Such missing links result in the binary system of coloniser/colonised and North/South. These barriers were the architecture of colonial political economic systems, the deprivation and suppression of indigen- ous cultures, and displacement and disconnections from natural habitats. These ruptures must be fixed and relinked in decolonial discourses. Through examining undercurrents within colonial histories, I will investigate how creative research seeks to bridge such ruptures.
