Eating from a singular head of cabbage for three consecutive weeks, Hwang channels the cabbage’s metabolic energy into these writings and images centering queer ecological formations, machine failure, 20th-century queer art history, metabolic systems, and kinship. Against a culture of passive consumption, waste, and attention, Cabbage poetics listens to and memorializes what cabbages and other natural messengers have to teach us about queer survival, interreliance, sabotage, and remaining tender.
