Youyang Yu 俞悠洋
Making inner worlds visible.
I am an animation and visual artist, community organiser and art educator. 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.
I am developing Wilder Mountain Dojo / 野山道场, a participatory public art practice and an evolving world of shared practice and play. It invites people practising self-support through partings, reunions and upheaval to make room for rest, expression and mutual support.
Basecamp · Twin Cities · November 2026

Films, objects & inner landscapes
Selected work
Inside My Eyes
Poetry, moving images and an overwhelmed inner world.
Inheriting a Mountain
A ceramic mountain, a frozen lake, and questions of displacement and belonging.
Begin with Pieces
A poem becomes a shared, shifting landscape of voices and images.
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.
