About

Puyan Chen comes from the Border Environments Studio. She and the studio members researched migration flows and urban spaces on both sides of the English Channel during her Masters.

Her research focuses primarily on migration flows, evictions, environmental violence, and the connections with materiality and space. In the context of environmental violence, she understood the history of migration and documented it to commemorate them. Then she worked on mapping the phenomenon of migration on a global scale, researching urban atmospheres, policies, and humanisms from different cultural backgrounds.
