Weitou Practices and Intergenerational Knowledge with Chun Yin Rainbow Chan
Chun Yin Rainbow Chan (https://www.instagram.com/chunyinrainbowchan/) is an interdisciplinary artist, vocalist and producer working across music, image, sculpture and performance, and is one of six finalists in the 2021 - 2022 NSW Visual Arts Emerging Fellowship (https://www.create.nsw.gov.au/funding-and-support/arts-and-cultural-funding-program/visual-arts-emerging-fellowship/) (Artspace, CreateNSW, NAS).

In doing so, she continues the transmission of Weitou culture, strengthening her connection with her mother and her heritage, while also exploring concepts of place and time.
