YESHE is a Tibetan singer-songwriter and artist born and raised in Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Switzerland, based in New York City and Zurich. Her parents were part of the first group of Tibetan refugees who immigrated to Switzerland in 1960. Later, after their studies they worked as social educators at the Pestalozzi Children's foundation in Trogen, where YESHE also grew up. YESHE recently showed a durational performance piece co-curated by Marina Abramovic at the Rubin Museum in New York, performed live at Basel Social Club at Art Basel and at the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College. Together, with the collective xenometok she developed '49 days', a multimedia sound and dance performance theater piece, which premiered in 2022 at the Theaterhaus Gessnerallee in Zurich and was presented at L’Arsenic Les Urbaines in Lausanne and at the Kaaitheater/Les Halles in Brussels. YESHE is currently working on her debut album.
