Yuxuan An

An likes uses social issues as a source of inspiration for her creations and conducts in-depth systematic research through interdisciplinary social investigation as an impetus for theoretical basis. From the perspective of contemporary Chinese women living abroad, An explores the construction of personal identity in the context of geopolitics. 

To convey the voices of social Mission and empathy is the driving force behind her less-than more widely. The majority of her works are performances in which she attempts to create a wobbly and fragile atmosphere. Through the contrast between visual form and concept, the works often deliver meaning full of jokes and satire for the audience. She believes that ridiculousness and irony are the most playful and powerful methods of resistance of the underprivileged.

As a curator, she has been committed to trying to break the longstanding discursive bias of the academic world with men, trying to display more diverse artists, especially women of color and trans/nonbinary/ genderfluid people, in the field of public discussion.
