Liwen Lian is a Hui-Chinese 回族 multimedia artist and designer who holds a Bachelor of Interior Design (Honours) from RMIT University.

Through a design-led approach, they navigate between selfhood and systemic structures, weaving narratives from fragments of personal and collective memories. Liwen has lead workshop and they were a Panelist at  the City Stories (A project by UnStudio) at MPavilion. They recently completed the Young Creatives Lab residency at SIGNAL Arts, supported by the City of Melbourne.
