Michelle Wun Ting Wong completed her PhD studies in Art History at The University of Hong Kong in 2024. Her PhD project is a monographic study of the late Hong Kong artist Ha Bik Chuen 夏碧泉 (1925-2009), and explores the cultural modernity and artistic modernism emerging from Post WWII Hong Kong. Her writing has been published in Ambitious Alignments: New Histories of Southeast Asian Art, 1945–1990 (2018) and the journal Southeast of Now (2019). She was previously Researcher at Asia Art Archive (AAA), focusing on Hong Kong art history and histories of exchange and circulation through exhibitions and periodicals. Her curatorial projects include Portals, Stories, and Other Journeys at Tai Kwun Contemporary (2021), Afterglow, Yokohama Triennale 2020, and 11th Edition of Gwangju Biennale (2016). She co-runs the independent art space New Park with artists South Ho Siu Nam and Billy HC Kwok.
