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 site for re-matriation and ancestral futurity. Her performances bridge ecological ritual into digital intimacy, mobilizing trans and diasporic identity to reveal the forbidden fruits of human desire. Through embodied actions, she cams with strangers online, wrestles with a frozen durian, smashes brooms and eggs, 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 internet and earth consciousness merge? Can performance act as a chamber for power-switched voyeurism through a post-human yet ceremonial lens? And how might an AI generated twin wield erotic agency to reflect 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 has publications in diaCritics, Vănguard, Transgender Law Center, the Yale School of Environment, alongside her poetry collection, Blood Frequency (2022).
