Lexy Ho-Tai's multi-disciplinary art and teaching practice explores imaginative and tangible world-building through craft and play. Working in a range of mediums, her collaborative and participatory work employs humor, imagination, and absurdity to invite viewers to contemplate pressing social and environmental issues. She believes that joy is an act of resistance, and that play forges a powerful space for audiences to envision and work towards alternative futures. Residencies include the Watermill Center, Flux Factory, ARoS Museum, Everglades National Park, Museum of Arts and Design, Art Farm and now Elsewhere Museum. Her work can be viewed at lexymakesthings.com or @lexymakesthings.

A Playful Resistance | Lexy Ho-Tai

Lexy Ho-Tai (Queens, NYC) | November 2021

"Hope is a discipline" - Mariame KabaFeeding off the childlike wonder that Elsewhere inspires, Lexy Ho-Tai created an immersive, interactive puppet piece that serves as a playful entry point to larger conversations about safety, abolition, community care, mutual aid and world building. Weaving different messages of resistance and solidarity, Lexy invites you to imagine a more collaborative future and to consider your role within it. Using the fabric + markers provided, viewers are encouraged to leave their own messages of resistance into the piece. Culture is something we collectively create, and another world is possible!
