Yujing Ma comes from a filmmaking, multidisciplinary art production, and artistic research background. Her practices and research focus on mass urbanization, fractured and precarious narrative, systemic hierarchy, as well as the entangled relationship between human and non-human existence. She views research as a process of investigation and thinking, which inspires her creative reflections. Most of all, she cares about the impact of social progress on individual identities, as well as the instability of geographical and psychological belonging. Yujing is an MA student in Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies. She completed her BFA in Film, Video, New Media, and Animation from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Through her interdisciplinary approach, Yuting aims to illuminate the dynamic interplay between curatorial practices, sensory experiences, and the elemental forces that shape and inspire artistic endeavours.
