Meet The Artist

Feng-Feng Yeh

Feng Feng Yeh (she/her) is a chef and emerging multi-disciplinary artist who explores identity, feminism, and activism, under a provocative lens of sensuality, nostalgic camp, and comedy. She is the brainchild of the Chinese Chorizo Project, an Andy Warhol Foundation for the Arts awarded project. October 2023 was named Chinese Chorizo Month by the Pima County Board of Supervisors thanks to the Chinese Chorizo Project’s efforts in recognizing the contributions of immigrants in America. Yeh is the first recipient of the Tucson City of Gastronomy Food Visionary Award and was recently awarded the Downtown Tucson for Everyone Grant. Featured in Vogue and WWD for her NYC based womenswear line Savant, Yeh’s first exploration in multi-dimensional productions evolved to an art utilizing food as a vehicle to explore ideas of consumption and its related performance, spectacle, and response. Providing an intersectional perspective between the connections of collaboration, art, food, history, and humanity, Yeh hopes to uplift underrepresented communities across boundaries.
