Christina Hu

Christina Hu is a Berkeley-based printmaker whose work bubbles with charm, chaos, and color. Deeply inspired by her identity as a queer Chinese-American woman, Christina uses the risograph machine as both a printing tool and a storytelling device—layering translucent inks to build up playful yet poignant narratives. Her art is often packed with food, girls, ghosts, and the bits of daily life that live in the liminal space between cultural memory and contemporary humor.

Christina’s creative world feels hand-touched and homemade—zines that read like private jokes with old friends, prints that look like stills from a technicolor dream, and stickers that feel both nostalgic and oddly futuristic. There’s a warmth and radical softness to her aesthetic, shaped by years of exploring the overlap between identity, diaspora, and visual joy.

Her work is a love letter to the strange beauty of in-betweenness: East and West, sweet and spicy, tender and loud. She prints from her Berkeley studio, where risograph misregistration and offbeat color choices are embraced as creative signatures. Her pieces resonate with fans of indie publishing, queer zine culture, and anyone who finds comfort in print art that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

You’ll find her prints, zines, postcards, and stickers tucked into corners of cozy bookshops and gallery walls alike. Every piece she makes is an invitation—to laugh, to remember, to feel a little more seen.
