Artist in Residence from April to June 2025
Yifei Chen is one of the editors-in-chief of Prickly Paper (Canton) and one of the initiators of Tofu Stand (Berlin) and is involved in the practice of community art through DIY and mutual aid. In 2023-2024, he conducted research on community art and self-organization in Germany.
During his residency in Switzerland, he plans to visit Saint-Imier, Lausanne and Zurich to explore the threads of Anarchism and Dada art in Switzerland a century ago, and to communicate with contemporary Swiss self-organized communities, trying to tell a story about mutual aid across time and space with zines and puppetry.
