It can be disconcerting to fight the oppression and power imbalance in the world, including the art world. Still, it’s essential to continue and focus on growing, says Xiaoyu Weng, one of the most provocative contemporary curators and writers. Her advice to aspiring curators is to challenge authority and try their best to understand different points of view.
Based in New York, her practices focus on the impact of globalization, identity, decolonization, and the intersection of art, science, and technology. Xiaoyu Weng is coming to Romania this fall as the leader of the 5th edition of the Autumn School of Curating, a project organized by the Cluj Cultural Center in partnership with the Art Encounters Foundation from Timișoara.
