#3x3x6
Maedeh Hojabri, an Iranian teenager, was arrested for posting a dance video on Instagram in July 2018. Following her arrest, dance videos made globally
were posted in protest on all forms of social media: #dancingisnotacrime.
In solidarity, in defiance, in seeking self-gratification or collective revolt, we invite you to submit your selfie dance video to #3x3x6 as part of
artist Shu Lea Cheang’s 3x3x6 exhibition representing Taiwan at the Venice Biennale 2019.
The title 3x3x6 refers to today’s standardized architecture of industrial imprisonment: a 3 x 3 m² cell constantly monitored by 6 cameras.
Cheang’s exhibition hacks contemporary surveillance techniques to create a trans-punk fiction that questions the hegemonic narrative of the history of sexuality.
