Serene Hui is an artist based in the Netherlands and Hong Kong. Working across installation, sound, printmaking, and text. Her practice is invested in language at its limits—censored, untranslatable, or transformed as it passes through systems of power and bodies of mediation. Her current project Tiger’s Head, Nail’s Tail is presented at the Thailand Biennale 2025, the work weaves together a thread of research that delves into the human migration and material flow around Southeast Asia: family oral histories open onto Cold War geopolitics.
Serene’s works have been shown at the Ford Foundation Gallery (New York); Kunsthalle Mechelen (Belgium); Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong); TENT (Rotterdam) among others. She is a recipient for the Asia Cultural Council New York Fellowship Grant 2025, and has participated in residencies such as MMCA (South Korea); Casino Display (Luxembourg); Para Site (Hong Kong).
Her artistic practice has been awarded with the Artist Grant and Artist Project Grant by Mondriaan Fonds (Netherlands) since 2023.
