C-MAP Asia Fellow
Wong Binghao is a writer, editor, and curator. They approach art essayistically, constellating emotionally available readings and experiences of art in the hope of building more emancipatory and ethical worlds. They are invested in discursive production and international exchanges that are long-term and context-specific. In relation to contemporary art practices, they research gender and sexuality, popular cultures, new media and technology, and regional studies. They regularly lecture on art, gender, and theory, and work towards creating more professional development and mentorship opportunities for artists and curators, especially those who identify as trans* and non-binary. Recent and ongoing projects include publications Indifferent Idols (2018) and Charm Offensive (2019), and the online program Third Date (2022).
