CHARMAINE LI

     _{Photo by Charlotte Ghomeshi}

Moving between writing, publishing, and participatory readings, my work explores embodied encounters with language, memory, and knowledge in space. Drawing on contemplative practices and nightly dreams, I consider how attention and storytelling shape the processes of attuning to the ungraspable forms of knowledge within and around us.

I initiated ONEIRIC SPACE, an experimental research and publishing project that reflects on the porous boundaries between dreams and waking life. 

I also work as a freelance editorial consultant offering content writing and strategy services to brands, institutions, and agencies.

Originally from Toronto, I currently live and work in Berlin.
