Ya Hsuan Hsiao is an artist who graduated with an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London. Her practice encompasses self-publishing, writing, video installation, and sculpture to explore East Asian family histories and the topography of the afterlife. Central to her work is the creation of an "afterlife tourism" worldview, which merges souvenirs, tourist destinations, and waiting rooms of the deceased. Through the conceptual framework of a souvenir shop, she examines the moments in which life memories are produced.

Driven by long-term research into family narratives, Hsiao collects visual archives and oral histories through interviews, site visits, and fieldwork. Her project “Under the Lychee Tree”utilizes semi-fictional storytelling to respond to the agricultural history and family heritage of southern Taiwan's lychee orchards. Another project, “Wugui, the Wind, Thorny Bamboo, and the Bridge”, investigates the interweaving relationships between the folklore of Yanchao’s Wuguipu, the badlands ecology, and her grandmother’s life story.Active in both Taiwan and London, Hsiao's work reflects deeply on geography, imagery, and material memory. Her recent exhibition credits include A Thousand-Pointed Star (67 York Street Gallery, London, 2025) and Uncanny Playgrounds(Hypha Gallery, 2024).



蕭雅萱，畢業於倫敦大學金匠學院純藝術碩士。她運用自出版、書寫、錄像裝置、雕塑等藝術實踐來討論東亞家族故事與來世地景想像。在雅萱的藝術實踐中，她創造了一種「來世觀光學」的世界觀，融合了紀念物、觀光景點與死後等待室，以紀念品商店的形式去討論生命記憶製造的瞬間。

雅萱近年來長期關注家族故事，以採訪、書寫與田野調查作為方法搜集家族影像與口述資料。在《荔枝樹下》系列計畫中，她以半虛構的敘事回應台灣南方荔枝農園的產業史與家族史。《烏鬼、風聲、刺竹林與橋》計畫則探討了燕巢區烏鬼埔地方傳說、惡地生態地景與祖母生命經驗之間的交織關係。近年來，雅萱參與橫跨台灣與倫敦兩地的展覽計畫，展現其創作中對地緣、影像與紀念物的思考。2025年，她於倫敦67 York Street Gallery參展 《A Thousand-Pointed Star》、2024年參與Hypha Gallery舉辦的《Uncanny Playgrounds》。
