Vy Tsan is a curator whose practice examines global history through the movement of materials and objects, semiotics of displacement, and moments of contradiction. She is also interested in the evolving relationships between human and non-human systems within climate-adaptive contexts. 

Vy is currently a Curatorial Fellow at New Curators, London where she is co-curating Kang Seung Lee’s first solo exhibition in the UK, opening in December 2026 at South London Gallery.

She has held positions as Curatorial Assistant, International Art at the National Gallery of Australia; Content Coordinator at Craft + Design Canberra; and Curatorial Intern at Galeri Nasional Indonesia. 

Most recently, Vy was a 2025/26 Fellow for the Venice Biennale of Architecture, where she invigilated the Geology of Britannic Repair exhibition at British-Kenyan Pavilion and conducted research mapping the ‘material after-lives’ of the exhibition objects following de-installation. 

Vy holds a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and a Bachelor of Art History & Curatorship from the Australian National University, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Art from SOAS University of London, supported by the Dr Hettie Elgood Scholarship. This year, Vy is continuing her studies at SOAS through an MA in Asian Art focussing on the collecting practices of Vietnamese-Danish artist Danh Vo.
