Jiayi Liang

Jiayi Liang is a Chinese lens-based artist whose work navigates the intersections of feminism, trauma, and photography. By constructing landscapes that collage photo cutouts with physical spaces, she examines the ways in which East Asian women’s bodies are shaped by patriarchal structures as well as their historical narratives. Her practice engages photography as both a tool of resistance and a space for reimagining agency.

Liang’s work has been featured in The Long Season, a solo exhibition at Public Space One Gallery in Iowa City; UnBound 14! at Candela Gallery; and Nifty Fifty – Celebrating Half a Century of ICP Book Fair at the International Center of Photography (ICP), New York. She was included in the 12th International Combined Caucus Juried Exhibition (SPE) and recognized on the Honorable Shortlist for the Photo Forum Santa Fe Photography Award.

Liang is currently an MFA candidate at Virginia Commonwealth University and holds a BFA in Studio Art from the University of New Mexico.
