Jiayue He is a curator, mediator, and researcher based in the UK and Shanghai. Her research focuses on understanding the infrastructures of public cultural institutions, exploring how cultures and artifacts are institutionalized, collected, displayed and further influence people’s perceptions and knowledge systems. Central to her curatorial values is a commitment to emphasize the situations and scenarios of individuals who, for various reasons, find themselves lost in translation amidst dominant histories and institutional exhibition-making processes.
She completed her master’s degree in Curating Contemporary Art in 2023 at the Royal College of Art, London. Her graduation dissertation focused on problematising the complexity of care by discussing the perceptions of contemporary art curating and UK-based institutional practices. While studying at the Royal College of Art, Jiayue co-founded the Backitchen curatorial collective, a group dedicated to unpacking the historical and social construction of ‘Asian’ and exploring the potential of Asian art and its social intervention and identities. The group has curated solo artist and group shows at prominent organizations, including the Venice Arsenale, Behavan Gallery, and Liquid Gold Studios in London. 
In her forthcoming project at Staffordshire Gallery, London, where she collaborates with two artists, she works as the project curator, exploring the notion of contemporary archives and seeking diverse ways for individuals to connect with their roots and claim their identities through collective creativity.

Aigerim Kapar is an interdependent curator, interdisciplinary researcher, decolonial practitioner and eco-art activist in Kazakhstan.
Kapar founded Artcom Platform, a Central Asian community-based contemporary art and public engagement organization in 2015. Grassroots-driven agenda in Central Asia matters to her curatorial practice. With her team at Artcom Platform, Kapar curates and organizes collaborative knowledge production, public art and science education, art interventions, and research-based exhibitions. Collective memory, practices of care, nomadic heritage, environmental justice, urban accountability, and future generations are cross-cutting in all their processes and activities. She has also been organizing Art Collider, a school where art meets science bringing communities together, since 2017. Currently, Aigerim Kapar curates long-term projects of care, engagement and advocacy for lake ecosystems in Kazakhstan: SOS Taldykol, Care for Balkhash. In 2020, she united Central Asian artists, cultural practitioners, and researchers to initiate and co-create the place for contemporary art and culture of Central Asia – Steppe Space – a hybrid reality project.
Her key previous works are Re-membering: Dialogues of memories, an international intergenerational project in memory of survivors and victims of 20th-century political repressions in Kazakhstan (2019), and Time&Astana: After Future, an urban art research and engagement project (2017-2018).
