Dr Di Wang

Dr Di Wang is an art historian and curator. Her work focuses on art and culture of East Asia from the late-nineteenth century to the present.

Following her doctorate at the University of Oxford, she has taught as a departmental lecturer and research associate at the Department of History of Art at Oxford. Her first book project reveals the surprising entanglement of medicine, science, and revolutionary politics in the genesis of a socially engaged modern art and visual culture in China, offering the first inter-disciplinary history on how science and medicine shaped the contours of avant-garde thinking in China during the modern period.

As a curator and cultural producer, Di managed a series of international exhibitions for the contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang in New York. Her curatorial and theatre projects have been recognized with the W. H. Pembroke Prize and supported by the Pembroke Annual Art Fund. Media Interview:
