Jasmine Liaw

Jasmine Liaw is an emerging interdisciplinary artist moving fluidly between roles of a director, designer, curator in contemporary dance performance, new media art, and experimental film. Bicoastal, she is based in what is colonially known as so-called toronto and vancouver, canada. Evidenced in collaboration and community, her work leans into transcultural narratives intersecting her Hakka-Chinese diaspora, and queer theories in temporality and ecology. With Distinction, Liaw holds a certificate diploma in Contempoary Dance Performance from the Conteur Academy and a BFA in Integrated Media from OCAD University.

She’s grateful to have presented her work and been in collaboration with artists across so-called canada and internationally. Select presentations include Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, The Asian Arts & Culture Trust with Holt Renfrew, Hart House, and Stackt Market, Northwest Film Forum’s Local Sightings Film Festival (USA), Gallery 44, Images Festival, Interaccess’ Vector Festival, Pleasure Dome, Experimental Series – Salt Lake City (USA), Thessaloniki Cinedance International (Greece), Light Moves Festival (Ireland), Festival del cinema di Cefalù (Italy), MPCAS/Grunt Gallery, and more. Select collaborations include adelheid dance projects, Public Visualization Lab, Dias:stories, Ivetta Kang/Nuit Blanche 2024, The Darlings/Chimerik 似不像, Aeris Körper, and more.

With F-O-R-M Recorded Movement Society’s Technology & Interaction Program, she recently completed a two-year research exhibition project as their inaugural Artist-in-Residence. Recently, she published her research in time displacement and dance-technology with Kronoscope: Journal for the Study of Time.

Liaw is a recipient of the 2023 Emerging Digital Artists Award presented by EQ Bank and Trinity Square Video for her experimental film work, xīn nī 廖芯妮 (2023), and a finalist for the Interaccess Media Arts Prize for her work, to name language (2025).​
