JamWu

I was born on a small island called Taiwan that borders the Pacific Ocean. My hometown, Tainan, is the oldest city in Taiwan, with my childhood memories consisting of subtropical AnPing Fishing Harbor, folk religion temple culture, and agricultural landscape.

I'm an artist. I predominately work creatively with paper, focusing on the interconnected possibilities between traditional everyday life and contemporary facets, as I experiment with interpreting my own personal distinctiveness. On the other hand, I also regularly implements participatory projects, examining questions about life and social experiences.

I majored in architecture in college, and have a particular fondness for poetry. A recipient of the Cloud Gate Theater Wanderer Project Fellowship upon my graduation, I used the grant to travel to the high plains in Northern China where I explored local folk art. I have since created art in a wide array of genres, including installation, video, performance, and often collaborates in cross-disciplinary performing works.
