张美佳 Annika Cheng is an interdisciplinary artist from Queens, New York City. Through soft sculptural works, she explores the sino-diasporic experience, and seeks to define contemporary Chinese American culture. She investigates the way traditions are passed down, changed, and adapted, and how these practices bond people together. She explores the disruption of culture and the separations of people, and their effects on identity in both an individual and collective scale.

Her most recent exhibitions include Twined Musings at the Community College of Baltimore County (2023), Chinatown Chronicles at Eastern Connecticut State University (2023), and Adorned: Inspired by Fabric and Fashion at the Annmarie Sculpture Garden (2022).
