Born in Wuhan, China, 1993, Han Qian currently lives and works in Paris. She received her Bachelor’s degree from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma, Italy, and a dual Master’s degree from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, France. Han’s creative practice combines various media such as video, installation, performance, printmaking, and writing. She focuses on the subtle perceptions and identity memories hidden in the reorganization of multiple space-time and historical threads. She attempts to present her works as a constant journey between the past and the present, with the search for unspoken memories and diaspora identity always pulling her writing. In recent years, Han’s work has revolved around the threads of personal family and industrial migration, focusing on the migration and settlement of generations, and the specific historical and material changes that accompany them, as well as re-imagining and re-perceiving the changing landscapes, identity politics, and geo-identities within them.
