Public questions enter through particular forms of organisation
The 2022 record of an online discussion on women and public safety names Xie Xinxin as moderator and identifies invited guests. A public question enters a shared setting through a specific format of moderation and participation, rather than appearing only as the subject of a work.
In the same year, P4 travelled to Hangzhou at the invitation of the World Question Center, leaving residency and public-space records. The 2023 call by Wormhole Theatre and Daliangshan Heimei to collect books and clothing explicitly names P4 as a joint initiator. Discussion, residency and collection are different forms of action.

Read social practice through its relationships
Read the materials through the scale of the relationships: who moderates, who invites, who jointly initiates and whom an activity addresses. Keeping those credits makes collaboration visible rather than reducing every action to one institutional form.
This route places theatre practice beside questions in everyday life. Projects, discussions and support initiatives share some people and connections, yet have distinct purposes and records. Following their organisational details offers a concrete way to understand a network that extends beyond the stage.
