Hangfeng Chen is a visual artist and filmmaker working between Amsterdam and Shanghai. His practice reappropriates archival materials to create dialogues between personal memory and historical narrative. Working across drawing, papercut, collage, and animation, he explores connections transcending time and geography, reflecting on hybridity in the anthropocentric era. He holds an MA from the Netherlands Film Academy and is currently an artist-researcher at the University of Amsterdam. His works have been exhibited and collected internationally, and his films have screened at different festivals.

Besides making collage, drawing and film about Japanese Knotweed, Hangfeng forages those so called ‘invasive species’ and makes them into tasty food!
