Tammy Yu-Ting Hsieh

Taipei-Perth International Exchange Residency

Taipei-Perth International Exchange Residency

During her residency at PICA, Tammy Yu-Ting Hsieh will deepen her curatorial research into the complex intersections of geopolitics, national memory, Indigenous knowledge systems and ecological crisis. Her focus will be on how colonial expansion and extractive economies have shaped both Western Australia and Taiwan. 

Through studio visits, field research and on-site engagement, Hsieh will develop a curatorial project that explores how contemporary artists in Western Australia respond to the legacies of colonisation, resource extraction and contested relationships to land. 

About the artist

Tammy Yu-Ting Hsieh is a curator, editor and researcher based in Taiwan. She has previously held positions at the Taiwan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale; Hong-Gah Museum, Taipei; National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taichung: and Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts. Hsieh’s curatorial practice emerges in response to Taiwan’s contested geopolitical condition, critically engaging with postcolonial thought, border imaginaries, diasporic histories and the ecological entanglements shaped by colonial legacies. Her recent research and curatorial interests trace the ecopolitics and extractive geographies of Asia and the Global South, attending to how landscapes are shaped—and scarred—by imperial legacies and uneven development. Previous curatorial projects include Technostalgia: Peripheral Memory, Ulaanbaatar Biennale, Ulaanbaatar (2025); Between Waves and Soils, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan (2024–25); A Nonexistent Museum Bookand, Macau (2023) and When Islands Dream, Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei, Taiwan (2021–22).
