Biography
Supported by the School of Arts Tim Liang Scholarship, her doctoral research focuses on the art and archaeology of the Mongol Empire.
Her Ph.D. project investigates the social 'agency' of the horse and its images in the art and visual culture of Yuan China and the broader region of the Mongol Empire. She is also interested in the movement of iconographies, pictures, and objects in a transcultural medieval empire.
Before pursuing her Ph.D. at SOAS, she worked as a contemporary art writer, curator, and researcher. As Head of Library and Archives at Red Brick Art Museum in Beijing, she researched, expanded, and digitized the museum's collection of contemporary art books and archives. She wrote multiple exhibition reviews for publications such as The Art Newspaper China. Her curatorial project, Global Echoes: An Anthropology of Sound, was shortlisted for the 2019 "Research-Based Curatorial Project Prize" organized by OCAT Institute in Beijing. She received her MA in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art and BA in Museology from Fudan University in Shanghai.
