Yijia Wu (b. 1997, China) is a multidisciplinary artist who’s practice explores the everydayness, fluid notion of home, and both collective and individual experiences of migration. Through performance, sculpture, and installation, she utilises mundane, often domestic materials to create paradoxical situations for everyday life.In her recent work, Wu delves into the cultural significance embedded within ordinary objects and materials. She re-examines the symbolic and cultural meanings associated with each medium and weaves a narrative that portrays her journey and the story of being a migrant while creating a language that is absurd yet familiar, nostalgic yet present. Wu graduated from Central Saint Martins with a BA in Fine Art in 2021 and completed her MA studies in Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art in 2023.
