Rozana Lee

Rozana Lee is a multidisciplinary artist of Indonesian-Chinese heritage based in Tāmaki Makaurau. She holds an MFA from Elam School of Fine Arts. Her research is centred on the ideas around sense of place, migration, belonging, post-colonial identity and cross-cultural mobility. Working across textile, painting, video and installation, she explores global histories of encounter and exchange that allow for something shared, both within and beyond existing national and geographic boundaries. Recent exhibitions include: Spring is as sweet as shirotsumekusa, Studio Kura (2024), Memory lines, City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi (2024) and Sekali pendatang, tetap pendatang, Te Uru (2023). She has also been a research fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography, Leipzig (2024) and an artist resident with the Zhelezka Project, Central Asia (2023).
