Baibai Research Group (BBRG) is a transdisciplinary art platform operating at the intersections of spirituality, ancestry and relationality. Its current research focuses on ancestor worship as creative posthumous relationship development, embodied lineal practices, and the dying trade of Chinese religious goods merchants. Founded by artist Salty Xi Jie Ng following her grandma's retirement from physical form, BBRG attends to larger discourses from an intimate starting point of a grandchild —at once grieving and curious— looking for her lost grandparent.
We welcome collaborations across cultures and contexts.
Ancestors do not need to be biological.

Salty Xi Jie Ng is an artist co-creating semi-fictional paradigms for the real and imagined lives of humans within the poetics of the interdimensional intimate vernacular. // saltythunder.net
