Señorita China
(2019) examines the Chinese diaspora beauty pageant in San José, Costa Rica.
Is the pageant an act of resistance against the dominant beauty standards or is it a performance that works towards assimilation?
How is “Chineseness” shaped by the beauty pageant and who is considered authentically “Chinese” enough?
Is it a feminist celebration of sisterhood or simply curated for the male gaze?
What does it mean to be considered beautiful and to belong in a country that grants you the privilege of neither?
