C. Grace Chang is an artist, curator, researcher, and filmmaker based in Malmö, Sweden. Born and raised in New Jersey, she is a Fourth Culture Kid whose practice explores liminality, diaspora, and world-making beyond the colonial gaze. Working across moving image (VR, film), sound, and immersive installation, she combines decolonial theory with embodied experience to examine visual safe havens, coded power structures, memory, grief, care, and refusal as a starting point. Her work is both research-driven and affective, often employing bright colour, speculative aesthetics, and fantastical elements to imagine alternative presents and futures. Alongside her artistic practice, she has worked extensively as a curator (Skånes konstförening), educator (The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts), and organizer (Konst Detox), and holds M.A.s in Literature, Culture & Media and Visual Culture from Lund University.
