Capri Jiang:
Capri Jiang is a participatory artist, community event coordinator, and researcher who leverages art and design as transformative tools to communicate, support communities, and challenge prevailing narratives. Her practice focuses on creative interventions in social justice issues, particularly the right to food and gentrification, expressed through multidisciplinary mediums such as zine creation, short films, art workshops and curatorial projects.
In collaboration with Granville Community Kitchen, Capri developed a series of participatory research projects to respond to local food insecurity and celebrate diverse food heritage in South Kilburn while nurturing collective action around the right to food. For Capri, food serves as a universal and inclusive medium, deeply tied to culture, land, human rights, and self-expression, that grounds and shapes her socially engaged artistic practice.
