Curator

Audrey Bùi is an art historian with a focus in ethical curation through an analysis of trans-cultural interconnectivity, relational work, and an emphasis on the potential for transformative change in regards to contemporaneity. She also researches methods of compassionate archiving by re-working daily practices of display and representation. Her work foregrounds rethinking the impacts of looking, while also championing personhood over subjecthood in queer Southeast Asian and Asian American contemporary art. With a BA in Political Science emphasizing Cultural Politics and Jurisprudence, a BA in Contemporary Art History from California State University, Long Beach, as well as a MA in Museum Studies from New York University, Audrey Bùi specializes in Contemporary Asian Art History and affective ontologies of place, being, and culture making. Her research hones in on relationships between queerness, contemporary hyphenate identities, and communal citational practices in regards to exhibition practices.
