Bio Youqine Lefèvre
Youqine Lefèvre (1993, CN) is a Belgian lens-based artist of Asian descent currently living and working in Brussels, Belgium. Her artistic practice combines photography, archival material, moving image, research and text, and explores the relationship between the intimate and the political.
Through individual narratives, both her own and those of others, she seeks to locate the personal within a wider collective framework, tracing how family structures, memory, and emotional bonds are formed, strained, and transformed under conditions of political and social pressure. With a strong interest in sociology, her work brings a critical yet deeply sensitive lens to these questions, attending to what is often left unspoken in the spaces between the individual and the world they inhabit.
