Capture Photography Festival is pleased to announce the appointment of Sarah Wang | @mochepuchka as the Festival’s new TD Assistant Curator of Engagement. 🎉⁠
⁠
Sarah Wang studied international relations and art history before working in the arts and culture sector in Vancouver. Although her academic background is in visual arts and culture, she has worked with a multitude of performing, literary, and media arts organizations, as well as museums and galleries, across Canada. She currently serves on the IBPOC Advisory Committee of the BC Museums Association | @bc_museums_association, as well as the Boards of C Magazine | @cmagazineart, the Roedde House Museum | @roeddehousemuseum, and Telus Local Content | @telus.⁠

Wang states, “Visual culture, literacy, and civic participation in the arts are critical to my work. Lens-based art is now more important than ever in our changing sociopolitical landscape, and I am very grateful to be able to work with the entire Capture team to bring these important works and conversations to our communities.”⁠

Capture’s Executive Director, Emmy Lee Wall states, “Sarah’s intellectual curiosity, sensitivity to the issues of our time and commitment to accessibility and inclusion will be great assets to Capture. I am thrilled to welcome Sarah to our team.”⁠
