Meii Soh is a researcher, performer and writer, whose work examines the intersection of human and non-human storytelling as to foster speculative narratives that reimagine agency, love and empathy in times of identity and ecological crisis.
Their practise critically engages with the representation of nature and animality in the Western context, emphasizing the complexities of interspecies’s relationships such as dependency, mutualism, and parasitism as complex methods of co-habitation. Born within a family of on-land hunters, Meii draws from traditional methods, intersecting them with dissociative movement, video-game aesthetics, and digital mediums to offer alternative modes of seeing and knowing. By doing so, Meii prompts immersive dialogues while locating colonial narratives of instrumentalization, consumption, and objectification.
Meii holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Fine Arts of Lisbon and Sint Lucas Antwerpen, where they engaged in critical studies, and a master’s in Artistic Research from the Dutch Art Institute. Presently, Meii works at Grotto Gallery (Berlin) as part of the curatorial and organizational team with a focus on collaborative formats as a political manifestation of counter-individualism and counter-capitalistic forms of gathering.
