Law Yuk-mui is a multidisciplinary artist and art educator; currently lives and works between Japan and Hong Kong.

Sound is the anchor point in Law’s creation. Her interests comprise of the political and cultural rhetoric of sound, with sound as bodily memory, and orchestrate the interplay among sound, text and visual.
Law Yuk-mui have been named to Foundwork Artist Prize 2021 short list, and received The Awards for young artist (media art category) of Hong Kong Arts development Awards and the Excellence Award (Media Art Category) of The 23rd ifva Awards in 2018.
