Linda Zeb Hang is a Rotterdam artist and founder of the international mixed-media imprint, FIST (est. 2013). Their practice draws from their training as a textile encoder and having grown up amidst craft preservation in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Born to Hmong refugees, Linda is interested in ”transduction” as kin and code-based syntheses involving complex streams of recognition across generations, rhythms and geographies where patternness, cyclicity, orality, ritual, myth organize our collective oxygen and how we inhabit together.

Linda creates works that invite curiosity, encounter, intercession and embodied forms of inquiry by calling into question the “codes of conduct” in an atmosphere, structure, or architecture where a work is experienced. An overarching theme in their work resides in fertile tensions between digital/machine age/ and “primitive” technologies. Their projects attune to material cultures and currents of opacity related to this tension by reorienting systems of family and the tools we use to “value” and “gather.” Using this as a starting point, they invent new languages, shapes, and social programs for audiences to gain insight into deeper spatial fields of imagination; not only to archive, but also to participate and initiate change within the communities we arrive with, land among, or return to.

They have exhibited in New York City, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and The Netherlands. Printed and bound in the US and abroad such as Kala Art Institute in Berkeley CA, the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop in New York City, and at MASEREEL in Kasterlee BE. Founded in 2013, their mixed-media imprint FIST is held within collective and public spheres, including Queer Work Archive (RI); the Thomas J. Watson Library at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC); Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Library, Smithsonian Institution (NYC); Letterform Archive (CA); The SFMOMA Library + Archives (CA); and Frans Masereel Centrum, Kasterlee (BE), among others.

Attuning the Dramaturgy: Poetic Enjambments / Conditions of the Squat
Attuning the Dramaturgy: Poetic Enjambments / Conditions of the Squat, 2025 - Attuning the Dramaturgy is a sonic and visual framework. An occupied space for intellectual squatters to articulate poetic enjambments, shaping character with each other in this former performance theatre and artist-driven space. It channels the conditions of the squat—survival, care, resistance—through architecture, movement, print, and sound.
Attuning the Dramaturgy: Poetic Enjambments / Conditions of the Squat, 2025
Attuning the Dramaturgy: Poetic Enjambments / Conditions of the Squat, 2025 - Every material—from soil, potato plants, protest murals to crowbars, records, and a printshop sink—honors those invisible codes communities have always lived by, even when unacknowledged.
Attuning the Dramaturgy: Poetic Enjambments / Conditions of the Squat
Attuning the Dramaturgy: Poetic Enjambments / Conditions of the Squat, 2025 - The Garden of Learning is the artery area, located in the center of speech, writing, and dance. Grounded and rooted in the Rotterdam ⁄Amsterdam grow community, these archival sub-textures reveal traces of the people’s multiplicity, complexities, and geographies. It is canopied by tent-like theatre curtain drapery, while rhythmically painted edges act as score-making, placing the colors as nods to movement building.

Attuning the Dramaturgy: Poetic Enjambments / Conditions of the Squat, 2025 - Close by is a Listening Sessions Station where you can listen to my other collective: Detroit’s Sterling Toles’ music with Wes Taylor’s record design. Their deep roots in printshop, Underground Resistance, Motown, and Archer vinyl pressing plant invite the plants to grow in the way of the village’s faith. A second spine to W139’s site of origin, with Ceremony as a gesture to consider how structure, sound, and freedom interact.

Attuning the Dramaturgy: Poetic Enjambments / Conditions of the Squat, 2025
Attuning the Dramaturgy: Poetic Enjambments / Conditions of the Squat, 2025 - The artist’s 6 week journey to Flint and Detroit MI as an honorary community member in 2024 inspired them to build the squat as part of a transnational network of contested infrastructures, where the right to water and the right to build are inseparable struggles.
Rhythmic Publications Workshop (W139)
Rhythmic Publications Workshop (W139), 2025 - The public was invited to meaningfully participate and build culture with these learning environments in the framework of a Community Center on July 13, 2025 at W139 in Amsterdam NL. Youth participants from Iran, Cyprus, Turkey, Italy, France, Belgium, NYC, and California created their rhythmic publications while transducing the space into their own.
Archival Digital Commons
Archival Digital Commons, 1975–present - Archiving into afterlife: Digital commons perform the very values ​​of one's practice: rhythm, survival, dignity, contradiction, and generosity. It reminds me of what lives in us as artists: our relational responsibility to the communities we arrive with, land among, or return to.
The Microcosmicroom, 2023
The Microcosmicroom, 2023 - Microcosmicroom (or a pocket universe) is for classes of study and rites. It contains different languages—publicationsculptures—as a gateway to kinds of knowledge drawn with the body, in collaboration or cultivated solitude, with transparency or in private. This knowledge is broadcast through different matrices in printmaking and waves of sound and light.
The Microcosmicroom, 2023
The Microcosmicroom, 2023 - Interlinked joints echo molecular bonds, DNA strands, and celestial constellations. A micro-gesture (a fold) becomes a macro-cosmos (a room). Viewers step inside what feels like a scaled-up body or pocket universe of folds. The patterned shadows lace the weaving into the architecture itself—as if the whole room is wrapped in a fabric.
The Microcosmicroom (Warble)
The Microcosmicroom (Warble), 2023 - Warble renders oxygen into frequency, its signal carried by hand-folded fiber-optic paper, circulating in a horizontal spiral like breath turned into sound.
The Microcosmicroom, 2023
The Microcosmicroom, 2023 - Suspended wooden grids and the polarized lens layer shadow with structure, filtering light so patterns flicker, shift, and dissolve with movement. It turns the installation into a woven field of interference—where light, code, and enclosure are registered as multi-hyphenate and in flux, much like identity politics.
The Microcosmicroom, 2023
The Microcosmicroom (Qaldera I–III), 2023 - Thread-splitting, architectural schema, distortions found in monograms, and whipstitching—typically used to close seams—have been employed to bring relief and color to the slipcase surfaces. Hand-beaded currency tokens accompany Qaldera: trading and marking altered labor within precarious identification.
The Microcosmicroom (Run O’ The River / Bitter Medicine II), 2023
The Microcosmicroom (Run O’ The River / Bitter Medicine II), 2023 - Run O’ The River / Bitter Medicine embeds esoteric knowledge in internal landscapes shaped by the 2020 New York pandemic, where fissures and oblique intersections both conceal and reveal. Poems, drawings, and encoded glyphs articulate psychic micro-climates within a frayed environment.
THE MICROCOSMICROOM
The Microcosmicroom (Run O’ The River / Bitter Medicine II), 2023 - There are three versions now, the original set of image laden pages in an edition of twelve, another run of the same size and format consisting of only the poems, and a softcover edition of 300 published by Sming Sming Books in Fall of 2022 that shifted the focus to an expansive design around the text. The poems gathered glyphic symbols which attached themselves, multiplied and spread until they presented their own visual dialect. The covers were to be decorated with colorful handmade suminagashi marbled paper. The letterpress printed poems and their accompanying glyphs were made into photopolymer relief plates and, once printed, dusted with fine mica based pigment giving them a metallic sheen. Letterpress printed invites and ephemera took shape in late night printing sessions.
The Microcosmicroom, 2023
The Microcosmicroom, 2023 - Lantern Crown describes a kaleidoscope of forms, a cosmos of shifting glyphs that glow from within. Letterpress printed and aligned like textiles, the glyphs form patterned repetitions, encoding encryption into fabric. Each symbol is not only written but worn, like embroidery across the page. The flocked surfaces with sun gold mica, amplify the poem’s luminosity: catching light as you move, the page reflects a constellation back to the reader. This material choice makes the poem itself a lantern — carrying glow and code.
Cold Code, 2023–4
Cold Code, 2023–4 - Cold Code is an atlas-graphic in chine-collé, layering spatial genetics, encryption, and atmosphere with nautical and bodily traces drawn from port-city origins. It reads as a visual score for DNA rhythms, opacity, and transduction; each printshop residency communicates how movement building happens in layers—material, communal, and cultural.
