Emily B. Yang is a block print and ceramic artist based in Brooklyn. She merges block printing and ceramic traditions to explore new visual languages around diasporic storytelling and feminist cultural speculation. She hand-carves blocks to print on porcelain forms to explore the tension between cultural and social expectations, and self-determination. She is a 2025 Archie Bray summer resident and 2025–26 Fulbright Scholar researching block printing and ceramics in India. Emily is a faculty member at Parsons School of Design in New York and has previously taught in the First Year Arts Program at Harvard University. She has completed residencies at the Penland School of Craft in North Carolina, Anderson Ranch in Colorado, and in Jingdezhen, China, and Jaipur, India. Her work has been exhibited at the Yale School of Architecture and the Royal Academy of Art in London and is part of the New York Public Library’s permanent collection.
