這場名為「貧理論：批判性意興之必要」的開放性的講座，將由獨立策展人林沁怡與藝術家王虹凱進行對談，研究者許芳慈擔任主持，共同反思東南亞與東亞知識與訊息背後的當代進程，這場對話企圖探索研究導向的藝術與策展實踐所建構的過渡之際與萌發瞬息之間、考掘實踐動力中的歷史緊張感以及當代藝術實踐者所處的龐雜脈絡。本活動主題的「貧理論」援引自香港比較研究理論家Ackbar Abbas所提出的「貧理論：邁向宣言的筆記」(https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/21808575/poor-theory-notes-toward-a-manifesto)，並以此宣言作為對談論述與辯論的參照。

Poor Theory: The Necessity of Critical Curiosity is a conversation between Qinyi Lim, independent curator; Hong-Kai Wang, artist; and Fang Tze Hsu, independent curator and researcher. Reflecting on the contemporary processes behind knowledge and information production in Southeast and East Asia, this conversation seeks to explore the liminal and emergent zones created by research driven artistic and curatorial practice, the exigencies that informs these manifestations, and the complex positions occupied by the practitioners. This event derives its title from Hong Kong critical theorist Ackbar Abbas’ Poor Theory – Notes towards a Manifesto (https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/21808575/poor-theory-notes-toward-a-manifesto) and takes the manifesto as a discursive point of reference.
