Liana Zhen-ai is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist and dancer from Los Angeles, CA. Her work uses the frameworks of new materialism and object-oriented ontology to examine relationships to the more-than-living world, interrogate the changing landscape of narrative in the Anthropocene, and ask questions about how the body is revealed in conditions of disability and queerness. Liana has guest lectured at NYU and Marymount Manhattan College, presenting on disability and modification as glitch and the troubled boundaries of body and environment in dance.
