The award was established by the CFCCA (Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art) in conjunction with University of Salford with the aim of discovering and encouraging talented young writers who are engaging with Chinese contemporary art. The competition was open to postgraduate students worldwide, and Vivian was one of six winners with her essay 'Harmonious Society’—an Artistic Space of Antagonism and Communication.
Vivian originally came to York to do an MA with the support of the Jiangning Foundation and is now working with Jo Applin on her PhD thesis The Female Artists’ Fantasy of ‘Homemaking’ in the World: Mona Hatoum, Yin Xiuzhen, and Nikki S Lee.
Many congratulations to Vivian on her wonderful achievement!
