ArtworxTO Spotlight: Jasmine Liaw

Meet this week’s ArtworxTO’s Spotlight Emerging Artist Jasmine Liaw, a queer emerging Chinese-Canadian interdisciplinary artist in dance performance, new media art, and film. Based in Toronto, Jasmine is involved in the emerging interdisciplinary as an artist of colour, performer, and new media artist/technician.

Within her practice, she hopes to expand her knowledge in documenting movement, and experiment with the human body as a vessel for versatile art forms.

Jasmine has presented several original finalist and commissioned artworks that include her own choreography, performance, film direction, projection design, editing, installation design, multi-media printmaking, and poetry.  Her films have been screened in the F-O-R-M Festival of Recorded Movement in Vancouver (Canada), Green Mountain International Film Festival (USA), Aeris Körper’s PROSPECTS (Canada), The Garage Toronto (Canada), and The Holy Art Gallery (UK).

Through mentorships with Simon Clemo, Caroline MacCaull, Sammy Chien, Jasmine has generated her own projection designs within her own work and work for other arts companies.
