BeingSync

BeingSync is spearheaded by a cross-cultural ensemble of curators and cultural practitioners whose lived experiences shape its vision and ethos. Rooted in a commitment to reimagining diasporic identity and belonging through artistic and intellectual inquiry, the collective is led by founding directors who bring distinct yet intersecting perspectives to its curatorial practice. The platform traces its origin to Beijing, where Daisy Wang founded BeingSpace in 2021—an early iteration of the collective that would evolve into BeingSync, expanding its collaborative scope and transnational vision.

Daisy Wang is a London-based curator and researcher whose practice explores East and Southeast Asian diasporic identities, performance art, ecofeminist theory, and socially engaged methods. She founded the predecessor of this collective and holds an MRes degree from the Royal College of Art. She currently works at the Serpentine Galleries and previously held positions at art institutions in China, where she gained early experience in curating and exhibition-making. Her background informs a curatorial approach that fosters critical dialogue between contemporary art and diasporic narratives.

James Yang, a British Chinese cultural advocate and strategic advisor, offers invaluable financial insight while sustaining deep-rooted connections with immigrant networks and community leaders across the UK. His work bridges cultural production with institutional strategy, ensuring that immigrant voices are not only represented but actively shape the cultural landscape.

Together, the team cultivates a space where artistic practice, theoretical reflection, and community engagement converge—redefining cross-border experience as a site of dynamic exchange, negotiation, and possibility.
