Xin Hui Ong

Xin Ong is an emerging independent artist characterised by her interdisciplinary and collaborative approach. She is the inaugural studio 7 artist-in-residence at PS (2022). Born in Singapore, Xin has moved to Australia to pursue medicine. She discovered that the health issues faced by patients were largely rooted in a lack of connection; to purpose, in relationships, to their own bodies. These aspects of life could not be easily addressed within medicine but can be addressed readily through the arts as a form of catharsis and connection. In 2017, she pivoted to pursuing dance full-time.

Within the creation of collaborative interdisciplinary work which spans installation art, film and stage, Xin believes in the power of a shared vision. She favours a humble, honest and open creative process that can accommodate different ways of thinking about things in order to achieve work that far exceeds the limits of her own capabilities. Through i², she invites you to be a part of this process and conversation.
