Ziya Lin
Ziya Lin is a Chinese visual artist living and working in Mohkínstsis / Calgary on Treaty 7 Territory. Blending drawing and installation with traditional Chinese art aesthetics, she explores themes of identity, diaspora, place, memory, and female subjectivity. In 2014, Lin received her BFA degree from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in China, and completed a MFA degree at University of Calgary in 2017. Her selected drawings from Tamed series were published in Cultural and Pedagogical Inquiry (Vol. 8, No. 2, 2016): “Still I Rise: A Tribute to Maya Angelou,” edited by Maria Wallis (York University) and Cecille DePass (University of Calgary). Her artworks have been exhibited at Arts Commons, the Calgary Central Library, Nickle Galleries, and Artpoint Gallery. Lin was also selected for artist residency programs with the Arts Commons’s RBC Emerging Visual Artists Program, the Women’s Centre of Calgary, and the Alberta Society of Artists.
