The New York Lounge delves into VillageOneArt co-artist, Xiangni Song, a contemporary Chinese artist who expresses her emotions and experiences through the use of diaries and folktales in her artwork.

The content of her work explores the relationship between humans and animals, gender, sexuality, and her personal identity. Her surreal and vibrant scenes are often inspired by dreams, memories, and life experiences. Her style is influenced by animation, cartoons, and illustrations. Due to the limitations of human perception, the imagery in her mind can never be an exact replica of reality captured by a camera lens. She blends her imagination and observation, creating distorted forms, incorrect spaces, and exaggerated bodies and objects in her artwork.

In this interview, they discussed the problems and prejudices that female artists may encounter in society, and explored the power of female artists.
