Yin Yin Wong explores the untold stories of the (Southeast) Asian diaspora in the Netherlands, drawing from personal experiences and the representation of this community.
Yin Yin Wong is a multidisciplinary artist working across various media including film, sculpture, drawing and site-specific installation. Previously, as Publication Studio Rotterdam (2015–2021), they worked largely around themes of distribution, dissemination, and circulation of visual culture by publishing artist books and curating exhibitions that were departing from text. Currently, they are researching possible bridges and juxtapositions between their modernist graphic design education and their Chinese-Malaysian diasporic upbringing. By focusing on themself as a site where different legacies and languages converge and complicate each other, Wong looks for overlaps that speak cross-culturally. Through an auto-ethnographic lens, they question the dominant frameworks that permeate almost every aspect of their life.
