Angie Pai

Born 1993, Taichung, Taiwan. Angie Pai is an artist working between Naarm/Melbourne (Australia) and Taipei (Taiwan). Her interdisciplinary practice is underpinned by expanded research in affective neuroscience, Taoist philosophy, and social work, which converge to form meditations on diasporic embodiment. Through experimental film, relief sculptures, textiles, painting, and public programming, Pai examines transformative potentials catalysed at the intersections of relational psychology, transgenerational memory, and ancestral lineage. Anchored in analytical rigour, her ethos is enriched by experiences spanning the arts, education, design, media, and social science sectors. With an unwavering commitment to educational outreach and meaningful impact, Pai weaves open science principles with personal revelations to amplify the voices of marginalised groups — including culturally and linguistically diverse and neurodivergent communities — fostering spaces for generative dialogue and deeper understanding.
