About the Curator:

​​

Yi Cao is a curator based in Chicago and Beijing. She develops curatorial projects that foster cross-cultural dialogue, exploring nuanced dynamics of culture, history, and identity, particularly as they manifest in “global” Asia. Yi is currently Director of the Society for Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago. Selected projects include If Shadows Could Shine (2024, apexart NYC), Liu Wei: Invisible Cities (2019, MoCA Cleveland), and Ai Weiwei: Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads (2016, Carnegie Museum of Art). Her bilingual writings have appeared in ArtAsiaPacific, Museum 2050, and artnet News, among others.

​

About the SAIC Youth Advocate:

​

Jonah Sanderson (he/they) is an emerging curator and art historian whose practice centers
Southeast Asia and Filipino visual culture. As an MA student in SAIC’s Modern/Contemporary
Art History program, their research explores Filipino art through themes of modern Filipinism,
postcolonial identity, and decoloniality in the global contemporary context. His work contributes
to decentering the art historical canon, advocating for underrepresented Filipino artists from the
archipelago and diaspora, and bringing awareness to Southeast Asian artistic narratives.

​

About the Moderator:

​

Kim, Jung Soo is a Chicago-based multimedia artist whose practice examines how human presence and perception shape and are shaped by space. Working across installation, sound, and site-specific research, she approaches the body as a sensory interface that absorbs, translates, and leaves traces within environments.

She holds an MFA in Art and Technology Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and has presented work internationally across the United States, South Korea, Iceland, and Estonia.
