Curator · Storyteller · Cultural Worker
Curator and storyteller whose practice moves between the built environment, the moving image, and the archive. Trained in architecture, deepened by film & media studies — now asking how institutions make meaning for the people who walk through their doors.
Eve Guo is —
A curator and storyteller whose practice moves between the built environment, the moving image, and the archive. Trained first in architecture — where she learned that a room is never just a room — she crossed into film and media studies to understand how culture is not only made but framed: who gets to tell which story, inside which institution, for which eyes.
She is interested in the gallery as a communicative space, in the way a wall text argues just as forcefully as an essay, and in the kind of research that surfaces what has been quietly set aside. Her work spans writing, visual communication, and curatorial thinking — held together by a single recurring question: how does form shape what we're allowed to feel?

Writing · Cultural Criticism
Conspiracy has become younger, softer and more intimate — less a doctrine than a mood. This essay looks at how post‑Covid youth use conspiratorial thinking to narrate identity, marginalisation, and the ache of living in an unstable world.
Writing · Cultural Criticism
From Burtynsky’s monumental factory vistas to Cao Fei’s melancholic dreamscapes, this essay follows how images of Chinese labour move through museums, documentaries, and the art market as both ethical provocation and aesthetic commodity.
