In Search of Miss Ruthless sets the stage for a public persona from the future. This series of public programmes reflects on diasporic communities and pageant infrastructures through discussions, screenings, performances, and workshops. Public programmes are developed and co-produced with the generous support of Spring Workshop. Additional support was provided by the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art.

Miss Ruthless with a Smile

In a world where friends are available for hourly rentals, where happiness is a business model, and where means of escape are harder to find by the day, we invite you to a rewarding afternoon framed by the idea of Miss Ruthless, a fantasy figure from the future. 

Lecture performances by Eisa Jocson and Dachal Choi
Screening by Ma Qiusha
“Pageantry as Curatorial Method” discussion by Hera Chan, Alvin Li, and David Xu Borgonjon
