Chuqi Min (闵楚齐, pronounced as Choo-Tzi Mean, she/her) is a PhD student interested in the art of East-Asian and Black women-in-diaspora during the modern and post-modern periods. Her current research focuses on socially-engaged art by Sinofem artists, transnational queer visual culture of East Asia, and Sino-African art/cultural exchange.
Chuqi coined the term “Sinofemcentrism” as her positional approach and theoretical framework in her M.A. thesis titled “Sinofemcentrism and Its Manifestations in Art by Yu Hong, Cui Xiuwen and Xiang Jing” which studies contemporary socially-engaged art by women from the PRC.
Prior to her career at Rice, Chuqi worked as an Editorial Assistant and Project Manager on “Methodology, Ideology and Pedagogy of African art: Primitive to Metamodern” (Edited by Dr. Moyo Okediji, published by Routledge, Taylor and Francis Group, February 2024).
