Design Trust / Royal College of Art Fellowship 2022 Awardee – Hoyee Tse

Design Trust is pleased to announce Hoyee Tse as the award recipient of the Design Trust / Royal College of Art Fellowship in Design Curation 2022 under the theme of “Hyperlocal”.

Hoyee from Hong Kong was first trained as an art historian and expanded her interest in the relationship between art and society of the past to the digital representation and preservation of visual culture of the present. Her project will focus on the contribution of design artefacts to cultural identity and social memory, recognising it as part of the contemporary cultural heritage. With the fellowship programmes, she will examine the influence between heritage through a socially engaged curatorial practice for contemporary design collection. She has an aspiration to return to Hong Kong after the fellowship and contribute to the museum and cultural sector of Hong Kong.
