About the Artist

Jade Johnson (UK)

Born, raised and educated in the UK, Jade Johnson is an illustrator and animator of indigenous Taiwanese heritage. Jade has worked closely as a visual artist for several community organisations, centering community engagement workshops at the core of her research. Jade strongly believes in designing “for” and “with” a community rather than “at” one. Jade is interested in promoting the rediscovery of forgotten indigenous handicrafts through art, as well as using her practice as a method for healing. By inviting young indigenous peoples to learn these skills from their elders, Jade believes this will help promote ethnic identity of young people; alleviate loneliness of the elderly, and strengthen the bonds between generations. Jade’s aim is to apply art to social causes and projects she cares about, through a range of art-forms.

About The Listening Biennial

Since 2021, The Listening Biennial has sought to foster research and discussion on listening, recognising its transformative power as key to enriching personal lives and social initiatives, and which supports ethical and political practices. As part of the Singapore Night Festival, the artists of The Listening Biennial invite you to enter the space of Third Listening, to listen out for a plurality of life-forms as well as pathways of interconnection between seemingly irreconcilable differences.
