(my pronounce: she/it)

Hi, I am Mengna (pronounced “mung-na”). I’m an artist, designer, and producer who likes to push the boundaries between arts, creative technology, curation, games, and storytelling to make works that matter.

Rooted in art history, cultural criticism, and cyberfeminism, I approach design and technology with a probing curiosity about new challenges of our world. My work explores themes of agency, power, body, discomfort, joy, and untold stories.

Over the past 8 years, I have managed and curated various exhibitions, public art, and cultural programs. I have had the pleasure working as Jenny Holzer’s Special Programs Manager, Open Society Foundations’ Curatorial Coordinator, and Xu Bing’s Studio Manager, realizing projects at institutions such as the Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, and LACMA as well as public spaces such as the National Mall and the Rockfeller Center. My writings have appeared in Artforum, The Brooklyn Rail, Hyperallergic, ArtAsiaPacific, among others.

I have a B.A. degree in Art Histroy from Vassar College and an M.A. degree in the Humanities from the University of Chicago. I am now pursuing a global M.A. in Interactive Media Arts at NYU, expecting to graduate in 2025.

Most of the times I live in Brooklyn, NY with my partner and our black labrador dog Nori 🖤
