hamsa fae (b. Los Angeles) is Vietnamese-French contemporary artist who works across expanded performance, technology, and social engagement.

With a decade of practice in land-based animism, she positions the body as a voice for re-matriation and ancestral futurity. Her ecological rituals bridge into digital intimacy, mobilizing trans identity to expose the human motivations behind economies of power and desire. Through embodied actions in her recent performances, she cams with strangers online, walks a nude runway, plucks leg hair for three hours, and loops spectator voices to re-myth girlhood. She invites audiences to participate in her site-specific interventions, archiving collective presence to confront cultural erasure and spiritual amnesia.

What new imaginaries or absurdities emerge when erotic labor meets durational performance on the internet? How does the cyber-body renegotiate agency and pleasure within such networks? And if we are all cam girls in the surveillance state of algorithmic media, what are the expectations of online and IRL femininity?

In 2025, she was awarded the CE Artist & Creative Grant (CA), AHL Women Artist Fellowship (NY), and founded the AAPI Emerging Artist Fellowship (CA). Her performances have been shown at Hannah Hoffman Gallery, AHL Foundation, Bread + Salt, Athenaeum Art Center, and The Front. She carries publications in diaCritics, Vănguard, Transgender Law Center, the Yale School of Environment, alongside her poetry collection, Blood Frequency (2022).
