Notes From Para Site’s Workshop for Emerging Professionals 2016
By Sylvia Tsai
Hong Kong was a bustling center of art activity last week, when cultural practitioners from around the world came together for Para Site’s fourth International Conference held at Asia Society Hong Kong Center. On Monday, ArtAsiaPacific published a roundup of the three-day symposium, which celebrated the local nonprofit’s 20th anniversary by taking a deeper look at the evolution of artistic ecosystems in Hong Kong and abroad over the past two decades.
A few days before Para Site’s International Conference kicked off, its Workshop for Emerging Professionals pushed into full gear. Organized by Freya Chou, Para Site’s curator of education and public programs, the second edition of the curatorial mentorship program included 12 participants from around the world. The participants came from various backgrounds: some are still attending university, while others are already active in the arts sector, either as practicing curators or arts administrators.
