US-born, Hong Kong-raised, Taiwan-fed, Germany-based; Denise Lee recently completed her Master’s degree at Bauhaus-Universität, Weimar and previously her Bachelor’s at Rhode Island School of Design, USA. With a background in public art, formal and non-formal education, post-colonial studies and object design while constantly navigating the blurry in-between spaces of immigrant, citizen, majority, minority, privileged, disadvantaged, colonised and colonisers, she creates and facilitates physical and non-physical spaces for connection and dialogue with the intention of dismantling the divisions and miscommunications complicit in the maintenance of hierarchical systems.
As a civic educator, she is currently developing workshops focusing on media literacy from a decolonising perspective, recognising power structures and power dynamics, intersectionality, intercultural communication and allyship. As an extension of her artistic work, she uses creative processes and knowledge-sharing to facilitate reflection and dialogue about these themes and make them accessible to workshop participants.
She offers workshops in English, Spanish, and German.
