Jessi Ali Lin

Jessi Ali LIN is an interdisciplinary artist based in Philadelphia. She works with and through video, performance, sculpture and embodiment. She holds a BA in Art and Art History from Barnard College and Columbia University and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art from the University of Pennsylvania. Based on her experience of moving between the US and Taiwan, her work centres on the notion of positionality, both as physical position and as the multivalence of identity. By drawing from feminist theory, minimalism and performance art, she examines the relationship between the performance of identity, its fragmented nature and its location within systems of power.
