Biography
Min-Jia (b. 2001, lives and works in Berlin) destabilises the myths of origin and identity through narratives of transformation. Their work samples and remixes folk and ornamental arts and their global transformations—from Orientalist kitsch to Art Nouveau to manga—to re-examine fantasies of the Other across canonical and outsider art histories. They have completed a Shaanxi Huaxian shadow puppetry apprenticeship under Master Wang Tianwen in Xi’an, China, and graduated from Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). They have exhibited in group exhibitions at ACUD Galerie, Berlin (2025), Tofu Space, Copenhagen (2025), PODIUM, Hong Kong (2024), James Fuentes Gallery, New York (2024), Franz Kaka, Toronto (2024), Bernheim, London (2023), A.I. Gallery with Linseed Projects, London (2023), X Museum, Beijing (2023), Hunt Gallery, Toronto (2022), among others. Their works can be found in the collection of the Royal Bank of Canada. They are currently completing their forthcoming novel, Mechanical Tail.
