About

​​​

Percy Chang is a photographer and cultural researcher based in southern Sweden. She brings photography into arts-based cultural research around memory, storytelling and lived experience.

​

Her background in journalism and publishing shaped the way she pays attention to how stories are told and, over time, the afterlife of stories: how they are carried forward, shared, and remembered. 

​

In 2025, for her Master's thesis in Communication for Development at Malmö University, Chang proposed the Clover Framework for Art-Based Memory-Making (CFAM), a conceptual approach examining how participatory art and oral storytelling help transform personal memories into shared and cultural memory. This research continues to shape her photographic practice, which uses observation, conversation, and time spent in place to explore how memory is held, carried, and sometimes lost.

​

Across two decades, she also photographed families across different countries and cultural settings, focusing on closeness, relationships, and the small ways people connect. These images were made long before her current research took shape, but looking back, she can see the same curiosity already there.​
