Mia Mai (b.1997, Leeds) is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher and workshop facilitator working primarily across weaving, writing, installation and sculpture. 

 

Through a critically, socially and materially engaged approach to research of woven textiles, Mia is dedicated to uncovering this everyday material’s emotional potency, value, political ecologies, and capacity to trace human experiences across time and place. With intersectional feminist theory at the heart of her research, Mia’s work is formed around notions of memory, sensory experiences, archived information, knowledge exchange, identity and social injustice. 

 

Her site-specific installations and designed workshops are often offered as a space for re-imagining; for considering the depth of our relationships with cloth and the ontological effects of our engagements with it.
