Jessie Li

Jiaqi is a Chinese artist based in London. Having worked in Chinese painting, art history, and digital media art, she joined the MA Situated Practice Programme at UCL to focus on human emotions, community, and social systems. Her work closely integrates with local community residents and artists through interviews and research. Based on the concept of 'public intervention' and 'urban rooms,' she creates public art spaces for minorities. Jiaqi is dedicated to amplifying the voices of the marginalized, bringing their long-ignored perspectives to the audience's attention.

“Technology is the bridge to convey emotion on my behalf rather than the key to my creation. Innovation is not a way for me to gain accolades but to make our environment less unfair, hurtful, and hostile toward others, but more tolerant and understanding.”
