Linda Lai Chiu-han

Linda Lai Chiu-han (黎肖嫻), also known as Linda Chiu-han Lai, is a Hong Kong-based academic, artist, curator and art historian working at the intersections of experimental video art, interactive media and cultural history. Lai was Associate Professor at the School of Creative Media at the City University of Hong Kong;[1] she retired on 1st July 2023.[2] She is the founder and artistic director of the Writing Machine Collective and runs a self-funded art space called Floating Projects[3] and works as an independent curator of moving image.[4]

Lai's artworks are primarily experiments with various forms of video and installation, based on her research in experimental historiography. Themes of her artistic work include Hong Kong cultural identity and gender.[5] Her works have been exhibited widely in Hong Kong and worldwide in cities including Shanghai, Torun, Paris, Barcelona, Kuala Lumpur, London, Taipei, Seoul, New York City and Montreal, and several times in International Competition at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (2005, 2009, 2011).

Lai received her B.A. in English Language & Literature at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and pursued her M.A. (Wheaton College, Illinois - communication & journalism) and Ph.D. (New York University - Cinema Studies) in the USA.[6]
