Maiden China’s Queer Performance of Care in the Wake of the Atlanta Spa Shootings
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract This article reflects on the differing articulations of care in the wake of the 2021 Atlanta Spa Shootings. On March 16, 2021, at 5 pm in the afternoon, a white gunman killed eight women, six of them Asian Americans, at three spa and massage businesses in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. With attention to the material and discursive forms following the shootings, the article considers how particular forms of visibility are conferred upon “Asian women” in relation to the question of anti-Asian violence. It then focuses how care and protection is defined by the law to trace how the case of the Atlanta Spa Shootings becomes a renewed site of Asian American attachment to hate crime legislation. As a response to this problematic, it explores the Vancouver-based trans femme nonbinary drag artist, Kendell Yan, aka Maiden China, and her memorialization of the Atlanta Spa Shootings, arguing how a queer performance of care can expand and rearticulate contemporary meanings of anti-Asian violence.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
