Born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, JACOB LI ROSENBERG is an interdisciplinary artist, caregiver, and arts worker of mixed Chinese and Jewish heritage based in San Francisco, California.

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 photography, cyanotype, sculpture, installation, video, and more.

In recent years, he has reconnected with his immigrant roots in the Bay Area. He cares for his Po Po (grandmother) in the Inner Richmond and runs a Mahjong club. Through the imaginative reconstruction of archival research and ancestral stories, Jacob uses his work as a means to build new worlds.

Jacob holds a BA in Art Practice and Sociology from UC Berkeley.
