Her book ‘Contemporary Art in Hong Kong’ (Asia One, 2013), which was first published in France (Nouvelles Editions Scala, 2013) provides essential keys to apprehend the city’s vibrant contemporary landscape and exposes the countless links between art, history, culture and identity.

As a curator, she focuses on promoting dialogue between artists from different cultures, while reflecting on social and political contemporary issues.
