Banyi Huang
Born in Beijing, Banyi Huang 黄半衣 (they/them) is an artist and writer based in Brooklyn, New York. Their interdisciplinary practice combines animation, digital fabrication, and writing to explore queer reenactments of Chinese mythology, folklore, and spirituality. Through the creation of digital-ambient environments and talismanic ritual devices, they address themes of shame, alienation, and intergenerational wounds within the Asian diaspora, creating a feedback loop of healing, unblocking, and recursive transformation.
Their work has been shown at Smack Mellon, The Soto Velez Clemente Center, Special Special, Artist’s Space (all New York), and the Flat Earth Film Festival (Seydisfjordur, Iceland). Banyi has contributed writings to the Brooklyn Rail, Hyperallergic, Spike Art, ArtAsiaPacific, Artforum China, Performa, Frieze Magazine, and has realized curatorial projects at the Musée des Arts Asiatiques (Nice, France), PRACTICE Yonkers, and Assembly Room (all New York).
