Alice Fung

Ph.D. Student in History of Art

Overview

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Alice is an art historian whose primary interest lies in contemporary Hong Kong art and culture. She aims to develop a dissertation project that looks at several major art collectives in Hong Kong during the 1950s and 1960s. Using art collectives as an anchor, her project maps out the elusive relationship between the development of informal art ecology and official institutions on the one hand, and redefines the position of the collective in shaping, responding and reimagining the geopolitical order of postwar Hong Kong and beyond.
