Hot Snakes / Chole Langlois - A Trip To See Hot Snakes' Cousin With River Cao

River Yuhao Cao is a moving image and performance artist based in London. Their practice reimagines the performative act of lamentation in regional Chinese cultures through a queer lens, revealing the possibilities of a fluid subject that can explore the landscapes of the past.

Hot Snakes is a devotional performance project conceived by artist Chloe Langlois. It takes as its starting point the artist's attempt to interact and communicate with a Holy Guardian Angel from her childhood - the eponymous ‘Hot Snakes’. Chloe’s attempts take the form of monthly broadcasts, live-to-air performance events, and bar takeovers undertaken as part of an ongoing residency at TACO!
