Yin Yin Wong

Yin Yin Wong is a Rotterdam based artist working across a range of media including performance, drawing, sculpture, and site specific installation. In their current work they are researching possible bridges and juxtapositions between their modernist graphic design education and their Chinese-Malaysian diasporic upbringing. By focussing on themself as a site where different legacies and languages converge and complicate eachother, Wong looks for overlaps that speak cross-culturally. Through an autoethnographic lens and a socially engaged practice, they challenge dominant and binary understandings of (contemporary) culture. 

Yin Yin Wong was a resident at Jan van Eyck Academy, Maastricht; Hotel Maria Kapel, Hoorn; Pocoapoco, Oaxaca, Mexico and is currently a teacher at Royal Academy of the Art, The Hague; a supervisory board member of Kunstinstituut Melly, Rotterdam and an an advisor for Stimuleringsfonds Creative Industries NL.
