Natasha Cheung (b. 1998, Sydney, Australia) received her BA in Fine Arts and Visual Studies from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020 and her MA in History of Art and Archaeology from SOAS, University of London in 2021.
Cheung’s research focuses on articulating incompatible assemblages of identity without reifying existing structures that seek to compartmentalize and invalidate contradiction. She sees paradox as a necessity and strives to make this visible and visceral through implementing installation, photography, video, performance, conversation, as well as drawing itself as forms of drawing. In particular, she is interested in the languages and belief structures constructed to describe sight and vision, and making visible how these non-neutral interfaces have contributed to continued colonial imaginaries as well as how to manipulate these languages to render the absurdity of our reality.

張氏的創作研究主要是視繪畫為媒介與循環無端的哲學，而過程中的目標是美麗地失敗。對話，也是她想與咏詩一起採掘的繪圖工具。她對語言及信仰結構形成的視覺以及思覺感有興趣。這些非中立的界面如何促成了如今依然持續的殖民想像，以及這些結構如何透過操縱語言來渲染現實世界的荒謬。
