About KISS
KISS is the Kunming International Situationist Society, a Kunming dérive (city walk) arts and discussion collective initiated in 2018 by Dutch artist Vera Regina van de Nieuwenhof, British cultural researcher Sean Duffy and Chinese curator Luo Fei.
KISS studies and practices Situationist concepts concerning urban space, connecting different people through urban walks (dérive), arts festivals, book clubs and so on. The group aims to explore the autonomy and texture that may exist in the urban spaces of our contemporary society, paying attention to phenomena of capitalist expansion.
