'Fermenting Resonance: Curating in the Shifting Cultural Tectonics of Hong Kong'
26 October 17:00 to 18:00
History Faculty Lecture Theatre, George St, OX1 2BE
Curator Erin Li will share insights into the wider Hong Kong art ecology through her journey of curating, programming, and brewing new connections at various key art institutions and amidst major social upheavals in the past decade. Li’s curatorial projects are often interdisciplinary, site-specific, and inspired by everyday emotions and experiences. They place the act of creating resonance through collaborative experiments at the core of her practice.
Currently Asymmetry Curatorial Fellow at Whitechapel Gallery and Delfina Foundation in London, Li will also offer a peek of her latest curatorial research on street dance and on fermentation.
Back in Hong Kong, Erin Li is Associate Curator at Tai Kwun Contemporary and has worked as Project Researcher and Development Coordinator at Asia Art Archive (Hong Kong) and Art Manager at art restaurant Duddell’s (Hong Kong & London). Among the many exhibitions and art events she organized, she has curated emo gym (2022) and co-curated The Unsung (2021) at Tai Kwun Contemporary. Li is a member of the AICA (International Association of Art Critics), and has published articles on Artforum China, the M+ blog, and the AICA Hong Kong website.
