Meet the presenters of SPE’s 2027 Annual Conference! We’re excited to introduce Jingyin Che, presenting “Harmless: To Be Proven — Staged Photography, Suspicion, and Conditional Belonging.” “Harmless: To Be Proven is a staged photographic project about Chinese and Chinese American scholars in the United States working within an atmosphere of political suspicion. The work does not center on one case or event. It looks at how mistrust settles into academic life: into classrooms, laboratories, offices, routines, gestures, and silence.” About the Presenter Jingyin Che is a lens-based interdisciplinary artist from Yangzhou, China, and a recent MFA graduate in Photography from Indiana University. He received a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Studio Art from The Ohio State University in 2023. His work has been exhibited in the United States, China, and Japan. Through staged photography and installation, Che examines institutional space, migration, and geopolitical tension, often using cinematic scenarios and dark absurdity to explore how political anxiety shapes visibility, belonging, and lived experience. Join us at the 2027 SPE Annual Conference to hear Jingyin explore staged photography, political suspicion, migration, and the complex relationship between visibility and belonging.
