YIJIA WU is an artist based in London and Beijing. She graduated from the Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London in 2021 with a First Class Honours in BA Fine Art and currently studying MA Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art. Her practice discusses the unsettlement and the sense of dislocation from individual and collective experiences. She uses moving image, performance, and installation as tools to explore/expand the notion of territory and the possibility of translating the experience of drifting into visual language.
