Overview
Yuling Xiao was born in Beijing, China, and recently graduated with her BS degree in Business from New York University. Growing up with a background in marketing and public relations, Yuling embarked on a multicultural educational journey since high school while amassing extensive experiences in the multifaceted impacts of media and imagery on social culture. The exposure fostered her profound interest in the social expressions and impacts constructed through visual media, specifically documentary. In the summer of 2023, Yuling produced her first short documentary in the Gansu province of China, exploring the reconstruction of cultural and artistic communication under the context of ethnic minorities at a Tibetan art institution founded by a Canadian artist. During her time at Duke, Yuling aims to delve deeper into the subjects of cross-cultural confrontations, integrations, and harmonious coexistence, particularly from a female perspective.
