Amy Ching-Yan Lam

Amy Ching-Yan Lam is an artist and writer whose work explores personal and communal histories, approaching them through intuition and necessity. Her practice is rooted in absurdity—where humor and sadness meet, or where the line between them blurs, creating a sense of instability. She primarily works in poetry, site-specific projects, and installation. Her publications include Property Journal (forthcoming, 2024), Baby Book (2023), and Looty Goes to Heaven (2022). Born in Hong Kong, Amy now lives in Tkaronto/Toronto.

Amy Ching-Yan Lam has exhibited work at Eastside Projects, United Kingdom; Seoul MediaCity Biennale, South Korea; and Richmond Art Gallery, Canada, among others.
