Ang Xia Yi is an artist from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Her practice threads on history, memory, identity politics and the emotional consequences of colonialism, as well as wider issues concerning Southeast Asia. She embraces a mixed-media approach moving seamlessly between photography, drawing, painting and archival intervention using everyday materials such as inherited domestic textiles. Her interest lies in the vernacular aspects of material culture, viewing materials as carriers of intimacy, trauma and violence that transcend beyond generations.

She has previously worked in image and garment-making. In 2021, she participated in a residency programme by Openbooks International (Wales) with The Godown (Kuala Lumpur) and China Academy of Art (Hangzhou).
