Youyang Yu 俞悠洋
Making inner worlds visible.
I am an artist, educator and community organiser. Through moving images, drawing, installation and participatory practice, I explore time, the body and belonging.
Currently · Wilder Mountain Dojo
A place to rest. A world to grow.
On the way to our dreams, what rhythms does the body keep repeating — the ones that wear us down, and the ones that carry us?
Wilder Mountain Dojo helps people on that road see those rhythms, and choose which ones to keep.
Basecamp · Twin Cities · November 2026

Writing & research
A letter, still unfolding.
“In this age of collective sleeplessness, I struggled to write a narrative of dawn—then realised that dawn arrives of its own accord.”
A work-in-progress essay on identity, time and the body, written over more than two years. Read an excerpt alongside published writing on independent animation.
Let’s make something together.
My practice moves between art, education and community. I welcome conversations about screenings, exhibitions, workshops and thoughtful collaborations.
