ABOUT THE ARTIST
Linh Le is a performance artist and climate activist. She is also the ambassador of the long-eared bat and part of the performance climate activist collective Becoming Species. Linh spends her time exploring nature, different species and making collective spaces for reflection and action. Besides that, she is also studying NVDA – non-violent direct action and the different strategies to confront injustices and create change.
Playing and exploring with community and other species are at the core of Linh’s practice.
