Emily B. Yang (b. 1991) is an artist based in Brooklyn. As a ceramic and block print artist, she brings block printing and ceramic surface decoration closer together as a means to create new narratives around diasporic storytelling and feminist cultural speculation. By referencing a traditional medium for a contemporary context, she looks back towards the past to reconcile with a disorienting present, before exploring ways to move forward with intention. 

Emily has exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art in London, the Yale School of Architecture, and the Harvard Graduate School of Design Kirkland Gallery. She recently completed a block printing residency at the Penland School of Craft, is a graduate of the Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, and currently teaches at the Parsons School of Design in New York.
