my work moves between the visual avant-garde, utopian and dystopian literature, historical pain, and everyday dark humour โ€” at times returning to a distinctly Wildean aestheticism

i am interested in how beauty, monstrosity, money, diplomacy, surveillance, and technocratic power reorganise what becomes visible

About

Sia X. Yang is a bilingual writer-researcher and, by statistical standards, a weirdly lucky person.

She is the recipient of:

Hard luck, but almost:

  • European Commission Marie Curie Actions Fellowship (2025)

Pure waste of time:

  • Creative Australia (2023-26; 10/10 decline rate, tougher than Australian immigration approval)

Since 2018, I have been on an extended career break, courtesy of Thomas and Myfanwy. My deepest ambition is to remain a playful mum and incurably lazy, always and forever. Still, kids grow, and with them comes the quiet urge to build something again…๐ŸŒฑ

I am, by temperament, a chill person.๐Ÿก
