Jiangshengyu Nova Pan (b. Hangzhou, China) is a moving-image and installation artist. She currently lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland. Pan earned her MFA in the Mount Royal School of Art at the Maryland Institute College of Art.

Pan’s work focuses on human mobility. Working from the perspective of the individual, Pan’s work explores the profound transformations of space, power relations, and social networks faced by a mobile population. While her work was originally inspired by the Chinese context, where the blistering pace of social and economic change has made migration an inevitability for millions, she uses this history as an aperture, playing with scale and moving beyond place, exploring how mobility is internalized and migration felt in the body. Pan’s artistic practice is heavily influenced by cinema-as-medium, interviews, rumor, and intergenerational story-telling.
