Ahn Lee is a queer Cantonese artist and researcher based in the Bay Area who works primarily on silkworms and Chinese mythologies. Working in porcelain, crystalline glaze, and mulberry paper, their interdisciplinary practice combines autobiographical re-making, archival research, and intuitive material experimentation to explore the Cantonese diaspora, transformation, and queer futurity.

Lee received an MFA from UC Berkeley in 2022, was a 2024 Bemis Center resident and SFMOMA SECA finalist, and presented their first solo exhibition SILKWORM with Morgann Trumbull Projects in 2026.
