postdoc researcher, the courtauld institute of art, london
Feixuan is an anthropologist specialising in anthropology of art and multispecies ethnography. She obtained a PhD in Creative Media from City University of Hong Kong in 2022. Her ethnography-based doctoral thesis scrutinises how the Daoist concept ‘ziran’ was paradoxically implemented in artist Liang Shaoji’s long-term collaboration with silkworms. Feixuan’s current research centres on labour and alienation, anthropomorphism, sensory knowledge, and situated ethics in multispecies art practice. She received the Fulbright Research Scholar Award 2019/2020, being hosted by New York University for six months. Feixuan also holds an MA in Socio-cultural Anthropology from Durham University and a BA in English from Beijing Language and Culture University.
