“Culture is just a fancy word for your mother and what your mother gives you is the experience around the table…” - Juliana Chan
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.
