Mar Fu Qi delves into the hidden traces settled in her body, to explore a closer understanding of what is rooted inside.
As someone with an unknown birth history, she is
a descendant of unnamed springs. Mar Fu Qi (1999)
is a Dutch/Chinese visual artist who works with performance, poetry, film and photography. Her primary senses as feelers for imagination, she embodies questions that are alive. The image as her navigation tool to travel personal emotional landscapes and experiences of everyday absurdity. She explores the quest for identity from a rich fascination with body memory, as she moves to the roots of origin.

2023Gather up! Why does it hurt to carry my bag? Gallery 1,2 | KABK Den Haag The Netherlands positions itself as an open and tolerant society, yet hierarchies are often imposed between the “local” and the “other”. Within this context, arts education is striving to be a site for sharing. Sharing of culture, identity, knowledge and history. “Gather up! Why does it hurt to carry my bag?” is an exhibition by international students of KABK that seek to reveal the weight of the baggage they bear on their shoulders. www.kabk.nl/agenda/gather-up-why-does-it-hurt-to-carry-my-bag Group

2022Unfolding Territories: Co-creating Through Cartographies of Care The Grey Space in the Middle Den Haag, Netherlands Unfolding Territories: Co-creating Through Cartographies of Care is expanding the definition of care, aiming at the broader understanding of what care means in the contemporary world and how art can be seen as a manifestation and tool of care. The act of creation is an act of care, creating work is a movement towards an expression of ones honest desire to connect with others. In the exhibition, they share what they care about, in the ever-changing world that surrounds them. The Cockroach Collective is a group of 45 students infesting the landscape of photography and exploring the possibilities of the medium to go beyond traditional definitions. They have been driven to create an exhibition where everyone –the audience and the artists– felt seen and heard. At their core, they are guided by equality, inclusivity, and respect. The willingness to take care of one another is a representative trait of the time when we all need additional support. These turbulent years are reflected in the ways they create work and the themes that are explored. Furthermore, they want to challenge photography and explore it as a means of care to reflect our world today. thegreyspace.net/program/unfold-territories/ Group

Leaking Mother Tongue Academie van Beeldende Kusnt, Den Haag Den Haag, Netherlands marfuqi.com/Leaking-Mother-Tongue My body is a leaking vessel leaking words I can’t describe certain experiences are ungraspable to put into wordy speech yet the body always tells... From overwhelming feelings to confinement, where the body spoke but couldn't speak, where words became unreachable and experiences intangible, the performance “Leaking Mother Tongue” reflects upon the relationship between the body and forgotten memory. Through motions of instinct and ingredients of origin, Mar Fu Qi delves into the hidden traces settled in her body, to explore a closer understanding of what is rooted inside. In which she invites the audience to listen; - what words does your body carry?
