Instructor Maya Faith Chan is a multimedia artist working in digital photography, collage, and experimental film. Her creative practice explores memory, emotion, and the ways art can be used as a tool for reflection, healing, and self-expression. Her work is characterized by atmospheric, vivid imagery of distorted environments, while examining themes of ancestral history, grief, derealization, and disrupted collective memory. As both an artist and educator, she has led arts workshops and creative education programming on themes of healing, social justice, and care with communities across California.
