Inside the Art, Outside Ourselves is a series of workshops that each invite you to spend time reflecting on a specific artwork from our main exhibition, Paradise, curated by Graham Feyl & J. Sova. Through guiding prompts and conversation, we encourage you to dig deeper into the work, think meaningfully about the ideas presented, and to respond with drawing or writing exercises. Artists to be featured include Aaron McIntosh, Angie Jennings, & Yu Yan.
This month, we’ll be looking at Yu Yan’s work and talking about “those who live with rupture—people, plants, and places that have endured being uprooted, renamed, or reclassified.”
Yu Yan is an interdisciplinary visual artist. Her practice is rooted in research-driven projects that explore the complex layers of migration, displacement, and memory across both natural environments and human landscapes, using photography, video, and installation.
