Emmie Massias (1997) is a French and Vietnamese visual researcher, artist and designer.
Through an exploration of form and material narratives, her practice investigates the entanglements between the body, territory and systems of extraction. By amplifying her own cultural identity, Emmie’s work seeks to raise questions of heritage across objects and participatory processes, facilitating knowledge sharing and storytelling.
Emmie has lived in Ho Chi Minh City, Paris, London, Eindhoven and Guadalajara. She received the Talent Development grant scheme︎︎︎ in 2024, and co-founded Amalgame Studio︎︎︎ with Marine Col.
