Kimberly Ye

Kimberly Ye is an artist whose interdisciplinary research-based practice produces films, performances, writings, and installations rooted in her communities. As a queer first-generation Chinese American, longtime worker in the sex industry, and mother of two, she makes work for and with people whose lives are routinely misrepresented–using humor, autofiction, and pop cultural aesthetics to translate marginalized experiences into mainstream visual language. Currently, she lives between Ho Chi Minh City and Los Angeles, organizes with sex workers at SWOPLA, and slaves alongside her subbyhubby beneath their three and five-year-old.
