Taey Iohe is an artist and writer, working with a diverse range of media spanning moving images, performance, text, social practice and assemblage, through an Asian queer feminist lens. They produce research-based works that challenge historical and personal entanglements in ecology, reproduction and climate justice, through collective resistance, on both toxic and fertile ground. Taey currently investigates undisciplined leaks and unintended floods of bodily fluid from living organisms, in relation to the colonial extraction of embodied knowledge and social medicine.
They co-founded the Decolonising Botany Working Group, and together they have presented the performance, A Refusing Oasis at Documenta 15. This work navigates divergent experiences of solidarity within anti-colonial struggle, deploying collective un-settlings and multivocal ceremonies. They completed their PhD in the programme of Gender, Identity and Culture, funded by Writing on Borders, at University College Dublin. They are a working member of Feminist Duration Reading Group, and a Somerset House Resident supported by an exchange bursary programme.
