Shuang Xu

Shuang Xu is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, and researcher whose work intertwines food, culture, and ecology to explore nuanced narratives surrounding cultural identity, migration, and landscapes. Central to her practice is the use of food as a language to investigate the relationships between native and non-native species, examining how these interactions intersect with ecological and historical contexts.

Guided by situated learning and fieldwork methodologies, Shuang cultivates her practice by engaging with her surroundings. She expresses her research, observations, and findings through diverse forms, including culinary practices, performance, and installation. Integral to her work is the use of symbolic elements, which serve as guides for her storytelling and exploration, critically reflecting on and disrupting singular narratives in the realms of identity, knowledge, and culture.
