Stephanie Chung is a curator and cultural practitioner from Hong Kong, currently based in London. With formative experience in community-oriented initiatives in Hong Kong, Chung seeks to explore the curatorial potential in socially-engaged, interdisciplinary, and site-specific practices. Her curatorial practice is informed by research interests in language politics, the fluidity of community, publication as artistic/curatorial practice, and the potentiality of thalassocentric thinking, often attending to political ambivalences within and between narratives.
Chung holds an MFA in Curating from Goldsmiths, University of London (2024), and a BA from the University of Hong Kong, where she researched topics within the disciplines of sociolinguistics and cultural studies. She completed a one-year Curatorial Fellowship with Goldsmiths CCA (2024-25). During the fellowship, she produced a commissioned performance by Sophie Seita responding to Sophie Podolski’s work and co-curated a screening event with Sine Screen in response to Lawrence Lek’s solo show.
Her earlier experience was rooted in Hong Kong’s non-profit art sector, where she worked closely with community partners, artists, and researchers. Notably, as part of the curatorial team and a primary point of contact, she coordinated the ‘Lamma Mia Public Art Festival’ (2020-21), a community-based, research-led project on Lamma Island.
She currently serves as the Finance & Admin Officer and Interim Programme Engagement Coordinator at Lewisham Education Arts Network (LEAN) and a Gallery Assistant/Education Assistant at Goldsmiths CCA.
She has delivered independent projects with institutions and organisations, including Chisenhale Studios, Cubitt Artists, Deptford X, and Theatreship. For details on her past and upcoming projects, visit here.
