Tracy Ren is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and curator based in Oakland, CA. They work primarily with an architectural and object-oriented visual language while moving through the world as an intuitive, process-oriented, queer, second-generation, Chinese-American person.

Drawing inspiration from cultural / domestic symbols, rituals, spaces, and things, they make sculptures, photographs, installations, and craft objects with the intent to highlight the ways in which we simultaneously and reciprocally create, activate, and are held by one another both within and across space and time.

As a whole, their creative pursuits serve as a personal compass within the continued processes of physical, spiritual, historical, political, and subconscious wayfinding. It is a means through which they can celebrate and uplift the members of their community who have been made to feel unsafe, overlooked or underestimated, and an opportunity to playfully pursue the creation and consumption of knowledge and beauty.
