Brandon Ng’s work investigates the intersections between place, persona, and positionality. His photographic and installation works deconstruct historical narratives to examine ideas concerning hybridity and the unlearning of imperialist methods that impact Hawaiʻi and its people. Being a product of settler colonialism in Hawaiʻi, Ng is partial to policies that affect Oceania’s contemporary social and cultural issues and their overlap with the United States. His work has been exhibited throughout the continental US and the Hawaiian Islands.

Ng received a BFA from University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (2012) and an MFA from Arizona State University (2020). He is currently a lecturer at Kapiʻolani and Leeward Community College on the island of Oʻahu, where he has the honor of discussing photography and art with Hawaiʻi’s students.
