Taey Iohe

Taey Iohe is an artist, writer, and listener, born near the Han River and now based near the River Lea and Ching. Their work moves fluidly across sound, language, moving images, and collective practice, always grounded in an eco-crip sense of belonging. Taey is drawn to what leaks—from bodies, histories, and living systems—seeing leakage as both a symptom of pain and a pathway to healing. They explore what seeps across boundaries in waterways and ecotone sites, tuning into these subtle voices as forms of slow resistance.

Taey has brought together cooks, growers, gardeners, and activists for Stone Soup: A Broth, A Shipwreck, and All the Fugitive Seeds, a gathering that honoured the journeys of earthly ingredients in bodily repair and collective grief. They co-founded Decolonising Botany, presenting A Refusing Oasis at Documenta 15, and are part of the Feminist Duration Reading Group, creating communal spaces to engage with feminist movements and stories.

Currently, Taey is a Research Associate at the Centre for Contemporary Art in Derry~Londonderry and teaches Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art.

In 2025 the artist was selected as an awardee of the third edition of the LOEWE FOUNDATION / Studio Voltaire Award.
