Zhouyi Joey​ Ye
Zhouyi Ye is a multi-media artist and filmmaker from China. She obtained her BFA in Painting from the Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts in China, ventured into the realm of textile design with a one-year program at Bunka Fashion College in Japan, and earned her MFA in Art & Technology from the California Institute of the Arts.

Zhouyi's artistic practice is driven by a deep curiosity about the ways in which social context shapes individual identity, particularly in the context of East Asian culture. Her works are characterized by their sensitivity to the nuances of personal and political narratives, which she weaves together in a variety of mediums, including video, painting, photography, installation, and textile design. Zhouyi uses her own primitive and poetic language, which creates a powerful emotional resonance with viewers. Her pieces often explore themes such as memory, loss, and belonging, and her unique style has garnered critical acclaim both domestically and abroad.
