Zheng Jialei
Jialei is an art practitioner investigating the concerns of the Chinese diaspora and the fragmentation of her cultural identity. Born to immigrant parents, her sense of displacement nudges her to look into loss and trauma, and with that comes reconciliation. Zheng works mainly with performance, text and objects.
Her current practice revolves around investigating difficult family histories and the postmemory. She has exhibited at the artist-run space starch as well as HEARTH by Art Outreach.
