Yujin Cao
Shaped by experiences studying, teaching, and practicing across Asia and North America, Yujin’s work reflects a global perspective and a cross-cultural design sensibility. Her practice has received international recognition, including honors from Architizer A+ and MasterPrize. Her artwork was selected for Harvard Zone 3’s Art in Print, Volume 20, and distributed as a 25-cent collectible poster through public newspaper bins in Allston—an initiative that situates contemporary art within everyday civic life.
In 2026, Yujin’s work was selected for exhibition at Boston City Hall’s Mezzanine Gallery, where she co-created Crossroads, a large-scale participatory installation engaging the city’s Brutalist civic architecture. On view from February to May, the project weaves together spatial intervention, projected portraits, and community-submitted narratives to reflect on everyday urban movement and collective civic identity. Situated within one of Boston’s most iconic public buildings, the exhibition emphasizes the role of art and architecture as platforms for public dialogue and shared experience.
Alongside her creative practice, Yujin is a first-dan black belt in Taekwondo, which she approaches as a form of embodied expression, informing her exploration of movement, rhythm, and physical presence in space.
