Rozanna Lee

New Zealand

Rozana Lee is a multidisciplinary artist of Indonesian-Chinese heritage based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, New Zealand. She holds a Master of Fine Arts with First Class Honours from Elam School of Fine Arts, the University of Auckland. Her research centres on ideas of place, migration, belonging, post-colonial identity, and cross-cultural mobility. Working across textiles, painting, video, and installation, she explores global histories of encounter and exchange that enable shared experiences—both within and beyond existing national and geographic boundaries.

Lee has exhibited widely in public galleries and artist-run spaces throughout New Zealand. She has undertaken artist residencies in Singapore (2016), China (2019), Japan (2024), and Australia (2024), and was a research fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography in Leipzig, Germany (2024). She also participated in the Zhelezka Project: On the Tracks Through Central Asia - Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan (2023) - a project supported by the Volkswagen Foundation that aims to develop conceptual and methodological approaches for generating new knowledge about lesser-explored and multicultural places.
