Echo Guo ~ Keywords: living being, running a round, border/boundary/edge, methodologies, collective writing, memory mapping, game making

Echo Yijia Guo is an audiovisual maker and a living being. Their artistic practices are rooted in understanding layers of relationships between migrants and social-ecological spaces. By living through the complexity—the motivations of departure, the positions of diasporas, the resonating but non-competitive struggles—they seek proximity to home. Rethinking through border, boundary and edge, Echo experiments with methodologies to re(dis)orient and connect with bodies on edge. Such tools encompass practices like memory mapping, archiving, collective scriptwriting, participatory projections, and game making.
