RIGHT NOW!

RIGHT NOW! Is a participatory work involving the deployment of ballot boxes, with a specifically designed survey, asking visitors to respond to questions linked to the Australian Human Rights Commission Act. Contemporary feminisms cannot operate independently of an ethical position regarding social vulnerability and consequently this work aims to provoke awareness of positions of privilege outside of lived experiences of inequality to increase awareness, empathy and action across our various communities. The work was produced and presented for the national survey exhibition "Unfinished Business: Perspectives on Art and Feminism" at ACCA, Melbourne and discussed in the paper "Right Now: Feminism, Art and Activism" presented at the "Women, Art and Feminism in Australia" Symposium at the VCA, Melbourne.

《即刻》（RIGHT NOW!）是一项参与式艺术创作，通过布设投票箱并配套专属设计的调查问卷，邀请访客回答与《澳大利亚人权委员会法案》相关的问题。当代女权主义无法脱离针对社会脆弱性的伦理立场而独立存在，因此本作品旨在唤醒人们对未曾亲历不平等的群体所持有的特权立场的认知，以在各社群中提升公众的认知水平、共情能力与行动积极性。本作品为墨尔本澳大利亚当代艺术中心（Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, ACCA）举办的全国性调研展览《未竟之业：艺术与女权主义视角》（Unfinished Business: Perspectives on Art and Feminism）创作并展出，并在墨尔本维多利亚艺术学院（Victorian College of the Arts, VCA）举办的“澳大利亚女性、艺术与女权主义（Women, Art and Feminism in Australia）”学术研讨会上，由论文《即刻：女权主义、艺术与行动主义》（Right Now: Feminism, Art and Activism）进行探讨。
