Headshot of Jasmine Liaw.

Jasmine Liaw is an interdisciplinary artist, director, curator, and designer in contemporary dance performance, new media art, and experimental film. As a method to retracing oral histories and heritage, she chooses to create relationships between the body and new media to unravel auto-ethnographic research and visualize an understanding for complex intersectional identity. In the words of Immony Mèn, she "views the body as a recorder, and at the same time, a record keeper." Motivated by the relationalities between humans, beyond-humans, and homeland, her practice explores the kinesthetic in-betweenness of bodies in motion through the topography of the body. She looks to non-linear, slow, collaborative, and intuitive forms of creation by being present with the weight of displaced time as a circulatory offering of resistance against dominant Western structures; developing an endurance for generative changes and knowledge(s).
