歷屆受獎人

Jessica Su-Yin KWOK

• 2026
• Curation
• United States 到 Indonesia, Vietnam

To research feminist historiography, performance, and time-based practices in Indonesia and Vietnam. Kwok will investigate feminist and feminized performance practices in the two countries, drawing on methodologies articulated by Indonesian art historian Wulan Dirgantoro. By engaging artists and scholars in Indonesia whose practices exemplify the feminist strategies Dirgantoro identifies, Kwok aims to learn how feminist performance emerged historically within Indonesian art discourse and how practitioners continue to navigate intersections of religion, politics, and agency. In Vietnam, she will meet artists and collectives whose works traverse ritual, domestic labor, and the politics of visibility to understand how feminized gestures and embodied practices articulate critical perspectives on gender, sovereignty, and social constraint. Kwok hopes to learn how feminist performance in both countries circulates through transnational exchanges and shared vocabularies of intimacy and desire.

Amrithasruthi RADHAKRISHNAN

• 2026
• Curation
• India 到 United States

To study how early Cold War diplomacy shaped India’s performing-arts institutions. Radhakrishnan aims to investigate how philanthropic foundations, diplomatic agencies, cultural intermediaries, and early artistic exchanges contributed to the institutional, pedagogical, and aesthetic frameworks that continue to influence India’s contemporary performance landscape. Her fellowship will center around archival research, interviews with artists, scholars, curators, and arts administrators, and attending performances by Indian artists in the U.S. Through these activities, Radhakrishnan will explore how diplomatic and institutional frameworks of the past maintain an influence over the circulation and visibility of diverse performing arts practices, as well as collaboration between arts communities in the U.S. and India. Her research seeks to offer new possibilities for cross-cultural artistic exchange.

She will visit centers, schools, and organizations established by and for people from Myanmar, especially those relevant to women artists, and seek opportunities to conduct interviews and observe classes, workshops, discussions, and artistic production. Shapiro also hopes to share her own works that relate to artists from Liberian and Cambodian refugee communities and stimulate conversations on creativity amidst great adversity.

LIU Tian

• 2026
• Curation
• China 到 United States

To research curatorial education practices as a form of social imagination and cultural mediation to rethink and reform current contemporary art curricula. Through site visits, archival study, and structured conversations with curators, educators, program directors, and artist-organizers, Liu will examine diverse approaches to curatorial education. He hopes to gain a better understanding of how curatorial studies programs in the U.S. structure their curricula, select faculty, and articulate their methodological frameworks. He also aims to expand his understanding of New York’s broader art ecology and thereby grasp the contexts in which curatorial and educational work take place. Liu hopes the fellowship will yield opportunities for future academic collaborations and continued cultural dialogue with counterparts in the U.S. after returning to China.
