East Alien Company (EAC)

East Alien Company (EAC) is a Berlin-based interdisciplinary art collective that works with the politics of embodiments and dislocations, racialised and colonial logics within contemporary migration and bordering practices and the critical globality through negotiating with their curatorial, performative, and time-based practices. 

Founded in 2023 by Xiao Xiao, Yve Oh, and Yumo Cheng during the APAL@AmnAsia.6 Residency, EAC made its debut at Berliner Ringtheater with “Alien without Extraordinary Ability”, blending sci-fi, autofiction, reading, singing and dancing. Their collective practice is an annotation of their radical kinship with one another and shared political imaginaries emerged from it. Their practice is an interface for their collaborators to be invited in. Their work has been shown at Ars Electronica, Global Science Film Festival, ÉTE, Shugen Gallery, Temporary Gallery, Motto Galerie, Goethe-Institut Bulgaria, Sofia Art Week among other places and has been supported by DOMiD Lab, Light Art Space, Interledger Foundation, Droste-Stiftung and the City of Cologne.
