Melanie Wu

Artist + Filmmaker

Miami, Florida, United States

I am an artist and filmmaker, based in Miami and New York City. Currently, I’m in the process of receiving a BFA from Parsons School of Design in Fine Arts and a BA from The New School in Screen Studies (2023). My work often dissects my personal experiences of being a half-Guatemalan and half-Chinese-American individual. I address these concepts predominantly through time-based work that includes video and performance. I want to show a glimpse of my family’s homes to recognize their efforts of preserving their cultural heritage while still adapting their version of the American dream.
