About
Margaret Liang (b.1998) is an artist/photographer based in London.
Having resided in different countries growing up, Margaret derives her artistic voice from an auto-theoretical lens, from her experience of being a woman and a woman of colour. She adopts performative portraits and self-portraits as her primary means of practice. Her subject matters include intersectional feminism, gender and the asian diaspora.
