Bachelor Degree, Lingnan University (2015-2019)

Becoming a DACI (formerly known as VS) student was a transformative decision that unfurled a tapestry of artistic wonder, merging the rich legacies of Chinese and Western art history with the dynamic worlds of cinema and digital art. The student exchange program whisked me away to Los Angeles, where I immersed myself in the vibrant pulse of the film industry and contemporary art scene. Internships, like stepping stones, guided me through local art spaces and grand international fairs. The diverse courses offered a sumptuous feast of knowledge, and the bonds forged with faculty members were golden threads of wisdom and mentorship, kindling my passion for curating film festivals and art exhibitions.

Upon graduation, I worked in the dynamic realms of M+ Museum and the Hong Kong Arts Centre, embracing the mission to advance artistic dialogue and innovation across Asia. In 2022, amid the pandemic, I paused my career to further research Art History and Visual Culture at Taipei National University of the Arts. Drawn to fostering cultural exchange within Asian visual culture, I worked with Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition in 2023, and now established a curatorial collective and artspace based in Taiwan, Nn̄g Project, celebrating the unsung narratives within mainstream art history.

In addition, Reflecting on my DACI experience, it is evident that it was crucial in realizing my aspirations.
