Yulin Huang

Artist and Illustrator

Based in Taipei, Taiwan

I am a artist and researcher whose practice bridges visual art, community-based workshops, and socio-technological research with a strong focus on feminist urbanism. With a background in fine arts and an MFA in Trans-disciplinary Arts from Taipei National University of the Arts, my work explores the intersection of collective memory, digital culture, and alternative infrastructures.

Over the past decade, I have cultivated a multi-faceted practice combining data journalism, socially engaged art, and experimental design strategies. I previously worked with The News Lens as a data journalist, with CTBC Foundation as a designer, and led art-activism platforms such as the 706 Media Lab and Print & Crave Dept. These experiences have allowed me to explore how artists, technologists, and citizens can co-create new social imaginaries and reclaim agency over urban and digital environments.

My recent projects include Reimagining Radical Cities at the New Taipei City Art Museum (2025), a feminist printmaking collaboration addressing urban redevelopment; and Entangled Assembly, an exhibition reflecting on global factory systems and transnational labor, shown in Mexico and Taiwan. I have also actively contributed to discourses on platform cooperativism, blockchain art, and the solidarity economy through essays, translations, and public forums.

I often collaborate with grassroots organizations, scholars, and technologists to create participatory formats such as co-design workshops, zines, and interactive installations. My artistic research focuses on decentralization, ecological futures, and collective authorship — themes I aim to further investigate during international residencies.

As I expand my practice internationally, I seek residencies that support critical engagement with community, technology, and interdisciplinary methodologies. I am particularly interested in programs that offer collaborative environments and value process-based, research-oriented approaches to art-making.

Through international dialogue and artistic experimentation, I hope to develop new tools for imagining feminist and equitable futures — grounded in both local resistance and transnational solidarity.
