Priya Kapoor
Priya Kapoor has spent twelve years immersed in Hong Kong's arts scene. She arrived in 2014, walked into an open-studio weekend at PMQ, and within six months had talked her way into a contributing-editor role at an arts magazine. She has watched the scene evolve through the opening of M+, the growth of Art Basel Hong Kong, and the resilient independent community working out of industrial buildings in Wong Chuk Hang and Fo Tan.
She read English at Edinburgh, took a master's in arts management at Goldsmiths, and spent her twenties working at the Barbican, the Southbank Centre and independent East London galleries before moving to Hong Kong.
Priya's writing makes contemporary art accessible without dumbing it down, drawing connections between Hong Kong's cultural life and global trends.
