Ashley Yang-Thompson

The product of a Chinese immigrant and a white polygamist from Fort Scott, Kansas, Ash Yang-Thompson has been a performance artist since the day she was ruthlessly shoved out of the safety of her mother’s womb. Her art has been exhibited at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum and the Museum of Moving Image, as well as numerous national and international spaces. Still Worm (Bateau Press, 2025) is her first full-length book.
