ReMazu: Iterations of Devotion

Artist Huang Banyi chronicles the cyclical journeys of a deity named Mazu, a sea goddess and shaman who was first mythologized in Fujian in Southern China, later migrating to Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Reimagined as a contemporary queer deity, ReMazu rekindles the complexity of coastal diasporic identities. Illuminating spiritual connections to the powers of water, the film fabulates the act of re-mothering as a transmutative device.
