Serena Chang is an artist based in Queens, New York. Her work explores the language and aesthetics of the global economy and how systems of labor, manufacturing, and cultural exchange shape identity. Through video, sound, photography, sculpture, textile, and installation, her interdisciplinary practice weaves together memory, familial histories, and craftsmanship.

Born in Tacoma WA (1990), Christopher Paul Jordan is a painter and public artist who investigates the afterlife of memory, simulating conditions of removal to reexamine human relationships. Lacing salvaged textiles such as window screens and debris netting with acrylic paint, Jordan separates his images from their original surfaces while generating new histories from the traces they leave behind. Through parallel practices in performance, installation, and sculpture, his inquiries are repeatedly embedded in public space. Jordan is a Leslie Lohman Museum Fellow, A Queer|Art Fellow and holds an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the Yale School of Art.

Mev Luna is a research-based artist and educator whose practice spans performance, film, 3-D animation, installation and text. Through an autoethnographic methodology, their work reappraises history to identify fictions governing contemporary life and considers issues of institutional access, incarceration, and how images of marginalized groups are circulated and controlled. They use obfuscation and disclosure in tandem to navigate audiences through complex narratives, and draw upon multiple registers—sight, sound, and emotion—to convey meaning in conjunction with historical context, research, and archival materials. In particular, their practice embraces relational citations, incorporating the voices of family and community members alongside theorists and scholars.

Yixuan Wu, visual artist, currently lives and works in New York. She received a MFA degree in Visual Arts from Columbia University and a BFA degree in Photography from Rhode Island School of Design. Her practice centers on domesticity—the elusive, restrained and sometimes unsettling emotional responses tied to intimate spaces. She’s particularly intrigued by things that appear one way but are quite another, especially things that satisfy the needs for comfort, care, affirmation and protection. Wu’s recent projects revolve around her time as a caregiver for a family member. The works examine the notion of displacement through her recreation of questioned comforts, delving into the complexities of sensory deprivation related to memory loss. Often inspired by therapeutic activities designed to compensate for memory loss, her sculptural arrangements piece together recurring elements and motifs reminiscent of environmental enhancements found in senior care facilities.
