Born in the US to Taiwanese parents before migrating to Hong Kong where she spent her early life, Denise Lee moved back to the US to obtain a BFA at Rhode Island School of Design for Furniture Design with a concentration in Nature Culture Sustainability Studies, focusing on postcolonial theory and literature. She has since lived and worked in Peru, Japan, and Germany, where she is now based, having received an MFA at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in Public Art and New Artistic Strategies.

With a background in public art, post-colonial studies, civic education, and object making, Denise creates and facilitates physical and non-physical spaces for connection and dialogue with the intention of dismantling the divisions and miscommunications complicit in the maintenance of hierarchical systems. She is now working at the intersection of oral history, space making, decoloniality, sound, video and text in relation to emotionality in urban space, attempting to understand how we inhabit the complexities of modernity.
