HOI LEUNG

Hoi Leung is the Deputy Director of the Chinese Culture Center, overseeing the internal culture, programs and operations of the organization. Leung was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to the US in 2004. Previously, Leung was the Curator at CCC for 4 years, where she established a distinct practice specializing in Asian diasporic contemporary art, developing emerging artists, and designing community engagement in immigrant neighborhood settings. Leung’s curatorial projects included “dawn_chorusiii: the fruit they don’t have here” by Sofia Cordova (2019 - 2021), an experimental video foregrounding the stories of six Bay Area women who journeyed to the United States as refugees, and “Interior Garden” (2022), a major solo exhibition of large-scale ceramic-based installations by Cathy Lu exploring the dream and dystopian states Asian America. Leung’s projects have received critical acclaim in KQED, Hyperallergic, Artforum, Artsy, and SF Arts Monthly. She was also named one of five new game-changing curators by SF Arts Monthly in 2021. Leung is an emerging leader in the field as she devotes her unique background in artist support and community curation into building a healthy, sustainable, and imaginative arts ecosystem.
