JACOB LI ROSENBERG (he/they) is a Wisconsin-born, emerging multi-media artist and caregiver of Chinese and Jewish heritage. He holds a BA in Art Practice and Sociology from UC Berkeley. The artist currently lives and works in his mother’s hometown of San Francisco. 

Jacob’s practice interweaves personal narrative with an exploration of converging cultural identities. His work engages themes of place, familial lore, tradition, language, labor, archives, and generational care.

Rooted in spatial awareness and historical inquiry, Jacob’s work materializes through installation, photography, printmaking, video, textiles, wearables, performance, and more.

In recent years, he has reconnected with his immigrant roots in the Bay Area. He cares of his Po Po (grandmother) in the Inner Richmond and is in the process of starting a Mahjong club. Through the imaginative reconstruction of archival research and ancestral stories, Jacob cultivates alternate versions of reality—past, present, and future.
