Lina Wu (BDes OCAD U) is a multi-disciplinary artist and illustrator based in Tkaronto (Toronto). Her practice involves a combination of painting, writing, drawing, sculpture, photography, comics, and zines. Lina's work grapples with self-perception, mythology, queer theory, diaspora, mental health, and adolescence. Her work has been published with Hand Eye Society, Looseleaf Magazine, Half a Grapefruit, and others; her art has been featured at galleries such as Xpace Cultural Centre and Gallery 44; and she has held workshops with organizations including Tea Base, Insomniac Film Festival, and Canada Comics Open Library. She is figuring out how to be soft and strong at the same time.
