Soe Yu Nwe (born.1989) is an artist from Myanmar. After earning a MFA degree in Ceramics at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design in 2015, Soe Yu has been participating in numerous residencies in the United States and across Asia. Her experience of living cross-culturally has inspired her to reflect upon her own identity through making, conceiving it as a fluid, fragile and fragmented entity. Through transfiguration of her emotional landscape by poetically depicting nature and body in parts, she ponders the complexities of individual identity in this rapidly changing globalized society. Soe Yu’s work has been exhibited internationally. Her recent exhibitions include a group show at Yavuz Gallery (Singapore), ZieherSmith in Chelsea, New York (USA), The National Gallery of Indonesia, Jakarta (Indonesia), Ayala Museum, Makati (Philippines) and a solo exhibition at Myanm/art, Yangon (Myanmar). Recently, Soe Yu has become an invited member of IAC (International Academy of Ceramics) as the first member from Myanmar. Soe Yu will also be participating in the 2018 Dhaka Art Summit (Bangladesh)’s Bearing Point exhibition and the 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT 9) in Brisbane, Australia.
