Ep.24 | In this episode I sat down with curator Juliana Chan and talked about her current show The World Is Your Oyster, a group exhibition of five Hong Kong artists at Ben Brown Fine Arts gallery in Wong Chuk Hang. We explored the Korean fermentation culture of son-mat, her new live art initiative Per.Platform, what a lecture performance is, and the benefits of journaling.

Juliana Chan is a curator, currently working and living in Hong Kong. She is the co-founder of Per.Platform, a Hong Kong-based not-for-profit art organisation dedicated to raising awareness and fostering development of live art. Chan’s recent research focuses on performance art and the contemporary food system. Chan received her Bachelor’s degree in the History of Art from the University of Florence, Italy, followed by a Master’s degree in Contemporary Art Criticism from the University of Edinburgh, UK.
