Cathy Hsiao
Cathy Hsiao is a Chicago based artist and educator growing up between the US, Taiwan and HK. As a member of the KMT army, her grandfather participated in the inaugural legislature of the ROC, and this history informs much of her work. Previous work offered growing indigo as a response to 2019-20 HK pro-democracy protests, and recreating in large scale “ceramic” casts of memories of her childhood in Asia. She holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she was a New Artist Society Merit Fellow, and a BA in history and art history from the University of California, Berkeley. She is a 2019 Newcity Magazine Breakout Artist, a 2020 Graham Foundation Artist Grantee, a 2022 Hopper Prize winner and a 2022 Fountainhead Artist-in-Residence in Climate and Environmental Sustainability.
