Christy Chan
2028 Eureka Fellow
Christy Chan works across video, installation, narrative film, object design, community engagement, and public art. Informed by her early years in the rural South, her work uses both direct and subtle approaches to question the social codes and everyday power structures that normalize racialized violence in the United States.
She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, Creative Capital Award, California Arts Council Award, and Kenneth Rainin Fellowship, among others. Her work has been exhibited at Film Independent in Los Angeles, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and Mills Art Museum in the Bay Area, NY Council of the Arts, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, and other institutions, as well as on NPR.
Chan's upcoming community project, Calling All Descendants, will examine erased histories of Asian American resistance in California. Her directorial project and independent film, Somewhere To Be, will be screening throughout the U.S. and Europe beginning in Fall 2025.
