Cedric Tai

Cedric Tai is an un-disciplinary artist / educator born in Detroit, currently in Los Angeles (Tongva/Chumash/Kizh land.) They think through sculpture, talking, writing, performance, games, and experimental exhibitions. Her work focuses on neurodivergent experience, labor, and politics. Tai has partnered with neuroscientists, academics from critical psychiatry, artist collectives, disability justice social media influencers, and somatic therapists to co-create accessible resources particularly around “mental health” and queer anti-capitalist liberation. Some of their work is set up systematically (coding/spreadsheets/workshops/repetition) so that they can focus on the spontaneous and experimental way she engages with the audience. Other works are like love letters, or are intentionally not efficient, wherein Tai comes to know someone or something through immersing herself in an intimate process.
