Chelsea Ning

Chelsea Ning(b.2001) is an artist based in providence, Rhode Island and New York. She studied in Rhode Island School of Design from 2019-2024. Mainly focusing on photography and video/ film related art, Chelsea explores the ideas and boundaries behind displacement, isolation, misplacement, sensory memories and self identities. Chelsea has exhibited her work internationally.

Through photography, installation, and visual storytelling, Chelsea explores themes of displacement, nostalgia, and the fluid nature of identity. Her ongoing series Misplaced blurs the boundaries between presence and absence, inviting viewers into an ambiguous space where memory and perception intertwine. In this conversation, she reflects on the influence of personal migration, the nuances of Asian identity in America, and how abstraction allows for both personal and collective storytelling.
