高胜寒 Shenghan Gao (b. Chengdu, China) forages from many disciplines such as dance, history, film, and cooks with mediums such as video/film, public art, social experiments, performance, participatory workshops, walking tours. She is interested in unlearning all the systems of belief that settler colonialism and capitalism have instilled in us, starting from the most mundane units of our lives: the names we call ourselves, the food we cook, the steps we dance in, and the "weeds" we walk by everyday.
She holds a BA in History and Arts from Minerva University and is now pursuing a Documentary Certificate at the New School.
She is also an alum from UWC Atlantic College.
