Xin Huang


Xin Huang (b.1996) is an multidisciplinary artist from China who is based in Glasgow. She recently graduated from the MFA program at GSA. Xin's research has focused on the after-effects of personal trauma on the psyche and collective struggles within the context of the pandemic. She employs moving images, installations, text, and photography as mediums, exploring power dynamics and satire while questioning whether metaphor, storytelling, and fiction are sufficient pathways to recovery from trauma and suppression. She often draws inspiration from personal memories, diaries, news archiving and transforms them through satirical adaptations. She believes past experiences have always been a latent influence; like a ripple in a pond in which the originating stone is deep and unseen, can be inherited by later events, similar or associated. Her mission is to find the trigger and uncover the hidden memories.
