Hi! I’m Zoey Liu, a social anthropology student from London, currently spending a year abroad at the University of Tokyo. Before that, I’ve lived in Shanghai, London, Paris, Berlin, and St. Petersburg — each city taught me a different rhythm of life, and I like to think of myself as a quiet observer of the world’s small details. Beyond academia, I work across photography, education, and research. I’ve been a research assistant for creativity-in-education projects, a consultant for environmental NGOs in Africa, and a mentor for youth-led art programs in rural China. My creative works — mostly photography and zines — have been shown in small collective exhibitions in London and Tokyo, exploring themes of memory, city, and coexistence between humans and nature.
