Jasmine Liaw is an emerging interdisciplinary artist, director, and designer in contemporary dance performance, new media art, and experimental film. Bicoastal, she is based in so-called Toronto and Vancouver. Evidenced in collaboration and community, her work leans into the complexities of transcultural narratives intersecting her Hakka diaspora, and queer theories in temporality and ecology. She’s grateful to have presented her work and been in collaboration with artists across so-called Canada and internationally. Select presentations include Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, The Asian Arts & Culture Trust with Holt Renfrew, Northwest Film Forum, Gallery 44, Vector Festival, Pleasure Dome, Experimental Series - Salt Lake City, Light Moves Festival Ireland, Festival del cinema di Cefalù, MPCAS/Grunt Gallery, Images Festival and more. Select collaborations include adelheid dance projects, Ivetta Kang/Nuit Blanche 2024, Public Visualization Lab/Cornell University, Dias:stories, The Darlings, Aeris Körper, Arts Club, and more. With F-O-R-M Recorded Movement Society’s Technology & Interaction Program, she recently completed a two-year research exhibition project as their inaugural artist-in-residence. Liaw is a recipient of the 2023 Emerging Digital Artists Award presented by EQ Bank and Trinity Square Video for her experimental film work, xīn nī 廖芯妮.
