Curatorial Dialogue: Socially Engaged Art in Australia and China
Event Information
About this event
Wilson Yeung (Founder of Curatorial Collective, PhD candidate in the College of Design and Social Context at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia) has been investigating the ‘Curatorial Dialogue’ as a collective curatorial method. During the pandemic, Wilson and Sherry began to reflect on the role of artist-curator and methods of artistic creation. They are particularly interested in how artists explore their projects during the COVID-19, how they think about their relationships with the surrounding living space, and how they explore social and participatory art with the public. Therefore, Wilson and Sherry initiate this Online Symposium called Curatorial Dialogue: Socially Participation Art in Australia and China. Four invited speakers will participate in this conversation, including artists, curators, and creative producers. They will introduce their social art practice developed after the COVID-19 in Australia and China, focusing on social actions and participation.
This event is part of the Mekong Cultural Hub (MCH) annual conference and supported by the Japan Foundation, the Taiwan Ministry of Culture, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (U.S.), the Student Life at RMIT University, and the Arts Managers Society at the University of Melbourne.
