About
Why this artist matters now
Shu Lea Cheang is a Taiwanese artist and filmmaker working across video, installation, and digital media since the 1980s. Her practice engages queer theory, biotechnology, and postcolonial politics through formally inventive structures that collapse documentary and speculative modes. She has exhibited internationally and collaborated with experimental film and media institutions.
