“The MA in Museum Studies & Curatorial Practices at NTU was instrumental in shaping my curatorial perspective and understanding of the complexities of the art world, particularly within Southeast Asia. The program’s rigorous academic framework, combined with its emphasis on practical engagement, allowed me to critically navigate the intersections of art, institutions, and the market. The diverse faculty and network of peers fostered invaluable discussions on transcultural dynamics and institutional critique, which continue to inform my work today. As Country Head of Sotheby’s Vietnam and Editorin- Chief for Art Republik Vietnam, I draw on these foundations to bridge regional artistic narratives with global audiences, ensuring that Southeast Asian art finds its place on the international stage.”
