Educator and community activist missTANGQ’s artistic practice is shaped by her Chinese American upbringing, which she describes as, “growing up bilingual, cross-cultural, and queer—a process of diasporic alchemy: navigating plural realities and becoming a multidimensional explorer.” Drawing on Chinese metaphysics and philosophy, she examines “the wisdom traditions of her heritage to explore the intersections of nature, the human spirit, and mysticism” through blended handmade and digital mediums in her sculpture, animation, installation, and performance art. Also known as Huameng Yu, missTANGQ immigrated to the United States from Chongqing, China, at four years old.
