Liana Zhen-ai is an interdisciplinary artist and dancer from Los Angeles, CA. Her dancing has been featured in Vogue US, NOWNESS, Dance Art Journal and FacE Magazine. Liana’s work uses the lenses of new materialism and object-oriented ontology to interrogate shame, nature, and narrative. She has guest lectured at NYU and Marymount Manhattan College, presenting on disability and modification as glitch; the troubled boundaries of body and environment in dance; and defining choreographies of the global south.
