Speaker：Au Sow Yee
 
Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and currently lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan, Au Sow Yee's works focus mainly in questioning, exploring as well as expanding the relationship between images, image-making, history, politics, and power, through video installation and other mediums. Sow Yee’s recent works focus on the re-imagined history of Malaysia, Southeast Asia, and the related region from perceptions and ideologies bounded by the Cold War. Meanwhile, she also continues her interest in the image-making mechanism, creating live cinema performances by using self-made mechanism and mechanical film projectors. A finalist for the 2018 Asia Pacific Breweries Foundation Signature Art Prize, Sow-Yee’s works were exhibited in MMCA (Seoul), Mori Art Museum (Tokyo), HKW (Berlin), Shanghai Rockbund Art Museum, BACC (Bangkok) and various other exhibitions and screenings. 

Sow-Yee was the co-founder and co-curator for KLEX (Kuala Lumpur Experimental Film and Video Festival) in 2010, 2011 and 2016. She is also one of the guest writers for online magazine No Man’s Land and co-founded Kuala Lumpur’s Rumah Attap Library and Collective in 2017.
