biography /
Coalescing lens-based media, installation, performance, and writing, Kwan Q Li’s practice examines the relations of conflict within postcolonial, technopolitical, and ecological explorations. She approaches the complexity of dominant forces through probing their “dispositif”: the set of interplaying actors that constitutes institutional and cultural power. Her work has been exhibited in the SPARK Festival, Venice Architecture Biennale, Ars Electronica, etc. and writings featured in Thresholds (MIT Press) and AI & Society (Springer). She has been awarded funding and residencies through Film London / Videotage, Design Trust, IdeasCity co-organised by the NTU CCA / the New Museum, and more. She was the recipient of the Harold and Arlene Schnitzer Prize by the Art Council at MIT, and was awarded the Stuart Morgan Prize for Art History at Oxford University.
