Bio

Linhuei Chen (b. 1981) is a Taiwanese Dutch artist based in Rotterdam. Her experiences of migration inspire her to question its impact on the notions of home and cultural hybridity through memories and current encounters in the new culture. With her expertise in science and art therapy, Chen explores the possibilities of integrating paintings and drawings with technology or participatory projects to visualize the process of cultural hybridity. She received BA in Fine Art (painting) from KABK in NL and other degrees in Engineering and Law. Chen is also an active member of PANT, a platform for Dutch/Taiwanese cultural exchanges.
