Tate Modern has announced ALVIN LI as Curator, International Art, and HERA CHAN as Adjunct Curator, Asia-Pacific.

A curator and writer based in Hong Kong, Chan was formerly Associate Curator of Public Programmes at Tai Kwun Contemporary and Director/Curator at Videotage. She is currently an adjunct curator at Tate and a guest professor at the Korea National University of the Arts.

Director of Tate Modern, KARIN HINDSBO, said “Tate is dedicated to rethinking modern and contemporary art from multiple geographies and perspectives. In recent years we have made great progress in the way we represent groundbreaking art from the Asia-Pacific region, and these two curatorial appointments will allow us to take that progress much further."
