Mooni Perry is an artist and filmmaker exploring diasporic divinity and gendered cosmologies across East Asia and beyond. Her research began with female communities connected to goddess worship in Taiwan, mainland China, and Hong Kong, and has since expanded to examine how the sacred moves, transforms, and survives through migration and syncretism. Working with multi-channel video installations, filmmaking, and publishing practices, she investigates how deities adapt within shifting historical and political contexts.
She is a co-founder of Asian Feminist Studio for Art and Research (AFSAR), a platform for collective research and artistic practice. Her work has been exhibited at institutions including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul; Westfälischer Kunstverein, Münster; KW Institute for Contemporary Art and Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin; Kai Art Center, Tallinn; and ARKO Art Center, Seoul.
Recently, her research extends to Europe, where she develops a comparative framework linking East Asian goddess traditions with the histories of women persecuted during European witch hunts. In parallel, she investigates forms of divinity carried into Europe by migrant communities, examining how these sacred figures persist and transform within diverse practices of folk religion.
