Michelle Yuan Fitz-Gerald

Michelle Yuan Fitz-Gerald is a multidisciplinary artist, carer, and ███████████████ living and working on unceded Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri land. She sometimes works under the name Cloud, which is the literal interpretation of her middle name, yún (云), lovingly given to her by her Chinese mother, and lovingly misspelled by her late white father. As an Asian presenting woman, she draws on lived experience in her practice to explore the subjugation of Asian women. Through witnessing and empathic engagement from audiences, her artistic testimony becomes a conduit for self-healing, enabling her to process, reenact, and rewrite autobiographical events while reclaiming internal and sometimes external spaces.
