Mia Mai (b.1997, Leeds) is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher working primarily across weaving, sculpture, installation and image-making.

Through a critically, socially and materially engaged approach to research of woven textiles, Mia has been dedicated to uncovering this everyday material’s value systems, political ecologies, and capacity to trace human experiences across time and place. With intersectional feminist theory at the heart of her research, Mia’s work is often formed around notions of memory, sensory experiences, archived information, knowledge exchange and identity.

Mia’s current and on-going research is engaged with the forms, systems, spaces and materials that create our everyday surroundings. Between the public and the private, the natural and the constructed, Mia is interested in the ways in which our material world can mirror our ways of living, act as witnesses to our daily lives, and above all; remind us that we are part of a much larger network.
