Rebecca Wang 王晨釔 is an artist and curator based on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations (otherwise known as Vancouver, Canada) and in her hometown Hangzhou, China. Her multidisciplinary and curatorial  practice investigates the absurdity ingrained in the structures that uphold the everyday which is often characterized by capitalist consumer culture. Through nuanced personal, communal, and fictional narratives, she hopes to destabilize the default ways of knowing, perceiving, and existing that disconnect one from their belongings and surroundings.

Rebecca exhibited with the Capture Photography Festival and curated Conditional Belonging, a multi-media group exhibition at Access Gallery, in 2021. In 2022, she participated in the BAiR Emerging at Banff Centre and co-produced podcast In Tanglemnt with Cinevolution Media Arts Society. Rebecca holds a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and a BBA from Simon Fraser University. She currently works as the Curatorial Assistant at Richmond Art Gallery, Senior Program facilitator with Carnegie Community Centre, and serves as the Board Secretary at Access Gallery.
