Danqi Cai (dan-CHI Tsai) is an interdisciplinary artist and assistant professor of foundations at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Danqi immigrated from China to the United States as a young adult. Her acculturation inspired her to combine multilaminated handmade papers with projection-mapped animations. The resulting multidimensional pieces conceal and reveal information depending on the viewer’s physical point of view, thus embodying her multicultural perspective. Danqi earned her MFA in studio art (printmaking) from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in 2023. She has shown nationally and has been awarded residencies at the Chautauqua School of Art, the Hambidge Center, and the Morgan Conservatory.
