Director Biography - Xiaolu Wang

Xiaolu Wang (b. 1991, Yinchuan) documents, curates, translates, who maps interiority, mixes video, poetry, memory, translations and a decolonial lens. They seek, feel, get lost, and fly kites. Suspended in between places and metaphorical landscapes, they slouch towards a way of being that embodies vagueness and precision simultaneously.
