Chinese Artists and Organizers (CAO) Collective 离离草 creates art to empower relational community healing. They make space for nuanced narratives rooted in China, the Sinophone diaspora, and other experiences from the margins. As cultural organizers, they explore social justice-oriented theorizing and narrativizing through communal and processual art practices. Their interdisciplinary praxis interweaves collective poetry, performance, food art, clay, sound, and installation. They reimagine memory/memorials, rituals, intimacy, and queer/feminist kinship to (re)build sustainable community infrastructures.

离离草艺术小组 Chinese Artists and Organizers (CAO) Collective 通过集体艺术创作赋能及疗愈社区。TA们扎根于中国、华语离散社群及多重边缘的身体经验中，为多元、幽微的叙事创造空间。TA们是艺术家，也是关注社会正义的社区组织者。TA们注重集体共创的过程，以探索来自社群、服务社群的伦理、理论和叙事。TA们跨界的艺术实践结合诗歌共写、表演、食物、陶泥、声音及装置艺术等多种形式。TA们邀请社群一起重新想象身体/记忆，纪念/仪式、距离/亲密感，重构可持续的、酷儿女权主义式的亲缘关系，共创以关怀为基础的社群支持网络。
