Combining narration, reenactment, found footage, karaoke, animation and a sprinkling of augmented reality, Li-Ming Hu’s Can it be I’m not meant to play this part? explores representation, identity and cultural production through the artist’s experiences as a professional actor and emerging artist, in conversation with key moments in the history of Asian American theater.

Li-Ming Hu is an interdisciplinary artist and recovering actor from Aotearoa/New Zealand who is currently based in New York City. Often employing a carnivalesque sensibility, her work engages with the imperatives of our high performance culture, and draws on her experiences in the entertainment industry to explore the relationships between cultural production and the performance of subjectivities. She has an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and held residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Flux Factory and the International Studio and Curatorial Program, NYC.
