Xinyue Liu holds a permanent Research Fellow position at Rural Lab, Glasgow School of Art, contributing to an expansive portfolio in regenerative creative practice across Scotland's Highlands and Islands.
Her research focuses on the intersection between contemporary visual culture and ecological grief, which is the sorrow felt for a dying world. She is particularly motivated in reframing grief as a resource for sustained ecological remembrance.
At GSA, she continues to work with the ghostly, namely, near-extinct species and landscapes that disappear in spectral ways. Previously, she conducted fieldwork at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to investigate the extinction of the Yangtze River dolphins and the ongoing conservation of finless porpoises. Her driving question is how art can resurface connections with lost memories and species from a particular landscape.
