Yuki Kéké Tam (she/they) is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator of Chinese descent living in the land known as Canada. She received her Bachelors of Arts from York University with a double major in Human Rights & Equity Studies and Fine Arts. She comes from a long line of makers who believe that art is a democratic and social practice. In both her studio and artistic work, she is interested in pedagogies of care. Utilising image and written word, Kéké examines every day tasks and objects, contending that they constitute meaningful practices of resilience.

She believes that even the most ordinary things have magic and the potential of storytelling. Her often philosophical and sometimes didactic expressions investigate how fragmented memories can retain information. She focuses on auto-fictive retellings of intimacy, vulnerability, and persistence. She uses play and parody to require attentiveness and vulnerability from the viewer. While many works make evident negative emotions and displeasure to dismantle myths of colonialism and multiculturalism, her research-creation is a process of healing and deep medicine. You will find her either petting a dog or frequenting cafes as an ex-barista and unqualified coffee enthusiast.
