TANK 新展｜油罐策展人奖：踩下去！

Erika Mei Chua Holum (b. 1995, Houston) is a contemporary art curator and art historian, currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Art History at Rice University, with a focus on global contemporary art history and museum studies. She is also based in Leitrim Co., Ireland as Curator of multidisciplinary arts space, the Dock. 

She has extensive experience developing communication strategies for diverse, multicultural, and multilingual audiences, having worked at institutions such as the Blaffer Art Museum in Houston and the Terra Foundation for American Art in Chicago, and worked on international programs like the Lagos Biennial and Obscura Photography Festival.

Erika has spearheaded the curation and coordination of multi-site, global film projects, specializing in building transnational communities around ecological issues through moving images and public programming. Her practice continuously explores the intersection of art, ecology, and heritage. She actively advances these discourses through curating, writing, and public speaking, backed by deep experience in public programming design and audience engagement.

Zining Ke (b. 1998, Yunnan) holds dual master's degrees: an M.A. (Advanced) in Art History and Curatorial Studies from the Australian National University, and an M.A. in International Politics from Fudan University.

Her research began in International Politics and gradually shifted toward knowledge production and marginal narratives in the Global South. Taking the Indian Dalit community as a point of departure, she persistently asks: whose voices are able to be heard. She approaches exhibitions as a form of decentralized knowledge production, enabling suppressed and overlooked experiences to become perceptible and enter the public sphere.

In her curatorial practice, she adopts a research-driven, site-responsive approach, focusing on how art engages with local life, ecological knowledge, and everyday labor. Through exhibitions, she explores the narrative potential of public space. She regards writing as an integral part of curatorial practice, continually intervening in contemporary art discourse through research and critical writing. Her work has been published in academic journals including Twenty-First Century, and her art criticism will appear in TAASA Review.

Hongxia Pu (b. 1994, Sichuan) is a landscape architect, registered spatial planner, and currently a postdoctoral researcher at Tongji University's College of Architecture and Urban Planning, holding a Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen.

Her research and practice revolve around water-soil narratives and ecological resilience, with a particular focus on how more-than-human actors (such as land, water bodies, and vegetation) participate in spatial restructuring and the shaping of cultural memory within processes of urbanization.

She possesses extensive experience in international exhibitions and filmmaking. She has participated in platforms such as the Venice Biennale and the Barcelona Landscape Biennale, and has curated multiple transnational multi-screen film exhibitions, exploring the potential of the moving image as a medium for affective resonance in landscape studies.

Her cross-regional exhibition and landscape design projects span China, Denmark, Italy, Canada, and elsewhere, integrating academic research, artistic practice, and public engagement to foster dialogue between ecology and humanity.
