Featuring historical objects, artworks, films and new commissions, the new exhibition ‘The Cult of Beauty’ at Wellcome Collection considers the influence of morality, status, health, age, race and gender on the evolution of ideas about beauty.

In this Curator’s Talk, the exhibition’s curator Janice Li will share the concepts and the making of the exhibition, as well as the inclusive approaches they are experimenting at Wellcome Collection.

Janice Li is a curator at Wellcome Collection working at the intersection of art, material culture, science and health. Previously, she was an assistant curator at the Victoria & Albert Museum in V&A East, Fashion and Photography departments.

As co-founder of the Hong Kong Design History Network, she co-curated the Hong Kong Pavilion, Sandtable, at London Design Biennale 2021. In her independent practice, she has curated exhibitions and commissioned design projects internationally.
