Sin Wah Lai (b. 1991, Hong Kong) is a multimedia artist. She holds a BFA in Fine Arts from Taipei National University of the Arts, Taipei, Taiwan (2014) and an MA in Fine Arts from HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, the Netherlands (2020). Her practice takes the form of photo/video and multimedia installation, socially engaged projects and performances. In recent years, her works tend to explore ways of thinking beyond the human, non-human and otherness divide. By poetically looking into minute moments that happen everywhere around the living environment, she attempts to retell intimate stories in order to trace resonated experiences and shape collective memories.
