Jessica Emmett
Jessica Emmett (born 1982) is a photographer and conceptual artist. She was born in Hong Kong to a Vietnamese refugee, who had fled Vietnam after the Vietnam War. She was put up for adoption and subsequently adopted by British expatriates. She emigrated with her adopted family to the UK in 1998. Jessica Emmett has a BA in Photography and an MA in Media Arts (with distinction) from Manchester Metropolitan University.
Jessica is now a practicing artist who explores very raw and personal experiences of being transracially adopted by examining adoption processes and themes surrounding family, race, colonialism and cultural diaspora. The foundation of Jessica’s experimental practice stems from film and photography, which lead to installations, performance and interactive pieces.
