Fri 15 Mar - Wed 31 Jul
During her time at Bluecoat, Lee Tsai will develop her own work which often looks at the second generation immigrant experience and explores themes of ancestral trauma, loss and belonging.
She will perform publicly during our current season, The Lives of Artists, a season of exhibitions, commissions and events that asks audiences what might be uncovered about ourselves when we listen to the testimony, histories, and stories of artists reflecting on their lives. Details of her events will be announced on our website, mailing lists and social media channels.
