THE ARTISTS
冯颖如 feng yingru
Yingru is a multimedia artist, working with painting, moving images and installation, whose work revolves around the concept of disappearance, and phenomenons of return. Stemming from an intense anxiety and fear of loosing everything, Yingru’s works observe, and narrate the disappearance of individuals, community, the nation, and culture, whilst simultaneously empowering processes of revival and return. Poetically intervening with physical landscapes, memorials, and material objects, Yingru’s works speak to the often undocumented rituals, cultures, and memories of her hometown, and explores their transmission to be embodied and matrilineal.

王 雨 Wang Yu
王雨（生于2000年，中国）是一位来自中国的蒙古艺术家，主要从事视频、行为艺术和装置艺术创作。她的作品围绕家庭、情感、记忆和蒙古文化展开，试图通过艺术探索个人与集体身份之间复杂的关系。 通过她的艺术，她将自己与蒙古文化的根源联系起来，并探究了在全球化和同质化的大背景下，少数民族如何能够保护和传承自己的文化身份。
她的创作过程往往始于个人经历，通过重构家庭记忆、民族符号以及情感体验，来探索蒙古文化更深层次的意义。她努力在她的作品中找到平衡——既追溯过去，又想象未来。
对她来说，艺术是一种疗愈与和解的手段，同时也是重新定义她自己以及她所在文化的 一 种方式。
Wang Yu (b. 2000, China) is a Mongolian artist from China who primarily works in video, performance art, and installation. Her creations revolve around family, emotions, memory, and Mongolian culture, seeking to explore the complex relationship between personal and collective identity through art.
Through her art, she connects herself to the roots of Mongolian culture and examines how ethnic minorities can preserve and pass on their cultural identity in the context of globalisation and homogenisation.
Her creative process often begins with personal experiences, reconstructing family memories, ethnic symbols, and emotional experiences to explore the deeper meanings of Mongolian culture. She strives to find a balance in her work—one that traces the past while also imagining the future.
For her, art is a means of healing and reconciliation, as well as a way to redefine herself and her culture.
