Hali Linn (she/they) (b. 1987, Bartlesville, OK, USA) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersections of identity, democracy, and collective care. Through painting, video, installation, and social practice, Hali investigates how systems of power and belonging shape our shared and private lives. Their practice merges tenderness with political urgency, often transforming personal gestures into communal acts of reflection and resistance.

Hali’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with recent presentations at The Alternative Art School, The Well in Brooklyn, and the I.M.A.G.E. Gallery in New York. Her ongoing projects—such as Letters to My Gender and New Flags for Old Institutions—reimagine the language and imagery of nationhood, gender performance, and protest to create spaces of inclusivity, mourning, and renewal.

Drawing from a background in both studio art and education, Hali approaches artmaking as an act of learning, unlearning, and collective imagination. They hold an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and have taught drawing, painting, and design at institutions including the University of Illinois and Concordia College. Hali currently lives and works in Kansas City, where she continues to build a practice grounded in queer embodiment, material experimentation, and the belief that art can be a form of care as much as critique.
