LI Yuchen LI Yuchen
LI Yuchen (1991) is a visual and performance artist from Nanchang, China, currently living and working in Amsterdam. The work of LI Yuchen revolves around migration, diasporic experience, memory and a sense of belonging. She investigates the historical-cultural-political contexts which gear the movements of both humans and our goods, for the stories of both are intrinsically intertwined. Her approach is not through macro narratives presented in the media or institutions, but through listening to the micro narratives. By engaging with the personal experiences and the memories they hold, she hopes to come to a more complex and nuanced understanding of realities. Through her visual and oral storytelling in the form of installations, videos and performances, LI aims to comprehend the dynamics when we encounter ‘the other’ and to explore different ways of weaving relations with the world.
In 2013, she graduated from Life Sciences in Xiamen University in China. In 2021, she graduated from ArtEZ University of Arts in Arnhem, Netherlands. Her work has been shown in various art and academic institutions in the Netherlands and abroad, such as Stedelijk Museum, Rijksakademie, CBK Zuidoost Amsterdam, Casco Art Institute Utrecht, Arnhem Museum, Utrecht University, International Institute of Social Studies The Hague, Wageningen University; as well as Beaufort Triennale Belgium, Bonn University, Kassel University Germany, Editorial Colectivo Retos Mexico and UniTierra Manizales Colombia.
