Cici Wu
Cici Wu is a New York-based mixed media artist. She works with video, film, installation, found objects, drawing, and elements of the cinematic tradition to address and reveal the invisible links between social and individual microhistories, memories, spiritualities, and cultural belief systems. Wu earned her MFA in Sculpture from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2015 after previously studying at City University of Hong Kong. She is a cofounder of Practice (2015–19), a studio, residency, and exhibition space initially located in New York’s Chinatown. She has participated in group exhibitions at international art spaces including Artists Space and Drawing Center in New York (both 2020), Para Site in Hong Kong (2018), and the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore (2015).
