BIOGRAPHY

Yun-Chu Liang focuses on incubating space by recording and interpreting perceptual experiences in daily life. By analyzing urban context, environmental history, and human behaviour, she works with sound and space to explore our experiences built through the senses. After training in architecture, Yun graduated from the Master's program in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts at the Berlin University of the Arts. Her projects span architecture, community building, installation, sound design, and virtual reality. In 2022, she started a journey to explore care in everyday life by engaging the local community with listening sessions.

PROJECT

During her residency at Nawat Fes, Yun will work on her ongoing research project, "In- Between," to explore care and empathy in everyday life. She navigates the project with a bottom-up strategy, starting by setting up a tea stand in local markets in order to trigger curiosity and encourage dialogue. In this way, she will explore with passers-by the present moment and conditions under which care occurs.

Yun has a background in architecture and sound art; the combination expresses the focus of her work: people and space. Through living in the medina of Fes, she will experience how the architecture and the community interact with each other, and how the environment affects the expression of empathy in different cultures. She will dive into local history and handicrafts to get inspired and transform encounters into material outcomes.
