About

Originally from Hong Kong, Mei Lam So is an artist who focuses on printmaking, textile printing, and ceramics. She received her BFA degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her MFA degree in Printmaking and Ceramics from the University of Iowa. Currently based in Minneapolis, MN, So is the Assistant Printer and Studio Manager at C&C Editions.

So’s work focuses on the integration and disintegration of identity within the context of cultural and familial relationships. She explores topics surrounding the acculturation process of bicultural Asian immigrants; particularly, how others navigate and integrate their own conflicting values and beliefs. Using printmaking, So creates narratives that share her experiences of being a bicultural individual and its perennial condition of balancing various identities.
