Rosa Ng (she/her) is a Chinese American multidisciplinary artist and design educator based in Upstate New York. In her creative practice, she emphasizes process-based documentation and participatory art-making, encouraging a thoughtful examination of our responsibilities and contributions to nature, self, and community.
Moving beyond traditional textile craft, Rosa integrates regenerative farming methodologies and community-based visual art. She utilizes materiality as an entry point for conversations, crafting tangible artifacts that encapsulate narratives and facilitate art-making as a way of processing the world around us.
In 2021, Rosa earned her MFA in Design & Technology from Parsons School of Design, with a focus on civic service design. As a 2023 Design Justice as Practice Fellow at The Center for Urban Pedagogy in Brooklyn, she deepened her understanding of how art can foster equity, inclusion, and social change.
