Jiaoyang Li\u00a0<\/strong>is a poet and multimedia artist based in New York City. Having graduated from Goldsmiths College, University of London and New York University with a poetry- focused BA and MFA in Creative Writing, she also researched Devising Theatre and Choreography at London International School of Performance Art in Berlin, and Inter- active media and design at Tisch ITP Department.
Apart from page-based writing, she also extends her literary practice into textile sculpture, interactive\/audiovisual\/ VR in- stallations, site-specific performances, public interventions or collaborative projects and more. Her work raises questions about Anthropocene, internet surveillance, gender fluidity, family memories and diaspora experiences related to silk, fabric, and clothing.
She sees the world as a long drape with countless folds and patches. Most of her work is made of found objects, language, and image, hoping to weave the uncertainty of this dystopian time into a new narrative.
In 2020, Li Jiaoyang was selected into the New York Art Foundation’s Immigration Artist Mentoring Program. Her work has been exhibited at the New York Live Art Center, the Immigration Artist biennial, Performa Biennial, Artyard Center, Milan Modern Art Center, Milan A60 Art Space, Los Angeles Design Festival, womenswork.art gallery, Indie Film Festival, DC Chinese Film festival and more.
Her literary work has been featured by Los Angeles Book Review, Chinese News Magazine, Beijing Contemporary Art Center, and elsewhere. \u00a0Find more about her at\u00a0https:\/\/www.jiaoyangli-textile.com\/<\/a>
