Hu Yue (胡悦) is a visual art practitioner, curator, educator, reviewer, and translator, currently conducting practice-based doctoral research at the University of Plymouth (UK). Her interdisciplinary research situates the dynamic relationship between humans’ interventions and natural landscapes in the context of environmental and climate change. Her artistic investigations often engage with artificial landscapes, ecological imaginaries, and the sensory experience of a place. Through curating and critical writings, she explores the broader contemporary visual art world and reimagines the landscape as a site of negotiation, memory, and transformation.

Yue holds an MA in Documentary Photography from the University of Westminster (UK). She has worked as a curator and collection researcher at art museums in China while continuing developing independent projects. Her work has been presented in the UK, China, Finland, Portugal, France, etc.
