〘𝕭𝖎𝖔〙 Alisa Yang is an antidisciplinary artist and independent filmmaker with a research based practice exploring alternative ways art can be a currency for care. Centering the body as a site of geopolitical and social conditionings, she works across video, installation, and situational specific projects in orienting oneself towards social change. Her films focus on the experiences of Asian women navigating cultural identity and generational trauma, mining personal narratives with humor and vulnerability.

She holds a BFA with honors from Art Center college of Design and MFA as a Phi Kappa Phi scholar in Interdisciplinary Arts from University of Michigan. Her work has been exhibited and screened internationally in places like MoMAPS1, Aesthetica Art Prize, New Mexico Museum of Art, and Beijing’s Art Nova 100 with reviews in LA Times, Hyperallergic, and Huffington Post.

⭐️Fellowship/Residencies: Yaddo, Uniondocs, Bemis center for Contemporary Arts, Djerassi, Artpace San Antonio, I-Park, Vermont Studio, China Residencies.

🏆Recent awards: 2018 Special Arte Laguna Prize, Best Regional Filmmaker at 2017 Ann Arbor Film Festival, and the 2017 Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival Golden Reel Awards for Short Documentary.
