Chang Yuchen works in an interdisciplinary manner -- writing as weaving, drawing as translation, teaching as hospitality, commerce as social experiment (see Use Value, 2016–2026) and publishing as a dandelion spreading its seeds. Her ongoing project Coral Dictionary (2019–) is a writing system based on coral debris. Through reading visually, associatively, and emotively, a feral literacy takes shape. Yuchen is also an advocate for the art of her mother, Jin Mei. 

Yuchen is a recipient of the New York Public Library Picture Collection Artist Fellowship, the Queens Art Fund New Work Grant, the Poetry Project Curatorial Fellowship, the Huayu Youth Award, and the Luminarts Cultural Foundation Fellowship, among others. She has shown and performed her work at MoMA PS1, Walker Art Center, Pioneer Works, Beijing Commune, the High Line, Carnegie Museum of Art, Amant, Artists Space, Para Site, and Tai Kwun Contemporary. She has been an artist-in-residence at Triangle Arts Association, Smack Mellon, Asymmetry Art Foundation, MASS MoCA, the Museum of Arts and Design, and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. Yuchen teaches in the Dance MFA low-residency program at Bennington College and is a Princeton Arts Fellow (2026–2028).
