Yidan Zeng 曽一丹 (she/they) is a queer, Chinese American artist stitching together text, textiles, performance, and food towards an embodied practice of attention and care. Her works are continually woven webs with no center, seeking only to make tangible the invisible threads in our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the natural world.
They've been a Crosstown Artist-in-Residence as part of the MengCheng 梦城团 Collective (2023), Textile Arts Center Artist-in-Residence (2020), a Create Change Fellow with The Laundromat Project (2018), and a visiting glass artist at The University of Hawai'i in Mānoa (2018). Yidan received their BA and BFA from the Brown-RISD Dual Degree Program in Computer Science and Glass.
