Tianjiao Wang

Tianjiao Wang is an artist and filmmaker. She recently completed a Teaching Fellowship at the University of Chicago (2024–2025), where she also received her MFA in Visual Arts. Her experimental film WILLIAMBABE was selected for the 2024 Light Matter Film Festival and has traveled to Berlin and Barcelona for international screenings. Wang is interested in acknowledging the presence of things. Through photographing and filming, she anticipates drawing others closer, while simultaneously keeping them perpetually within the realm of the other—without crossing boundaries, without encroachment, without fusion.

Artists in Public Schools creates artist residencies in Chicago Public Schools (CPS), providing expansive art making experiences for students, educators, and professional Chicago-based artists. Working together with a collaborative, community-focused mindset, we celebrate and widely share the unique stories of CPS students and schools through art and creativity. When the arts and aesthetics are integrated into education, work, and life, we strengthen our capacity to learn. Creating something is at the core of learning.
