Siqi Li (b.1998) uses photography to interrogate the mythologies surrounding familial representation, intersectional identities and personal history. Her practice weaves in a range of references including photography, archival intervention, writing and found materials to contextualise the research-led process. Her work is a collaboration with the subjects she photographs, usually family members or members of her community, and reflects on the larger and more collectively experienced longing, memories, intimacy and identity issues through a narration of the day-to-day.
