W. Ming (June, 2016 – May, 2018)
At W. Ming, I was involved in translating various exhibition descriptions, didactic materials, press releases, artists’ interviews, and publicity materials from Chinese to English. Some works are listed here:

As Museum and Collections Assistant at the Flaten Art Museum, I translated Chinese inscriptions on Asian artworks housed at the museum. These artworks include a variety of media such as ceramics, paintings, calligraphies, and bronze works. Also, I translated academic works, such as Dr. Kucera’s conference paper for 2014 International symposium on Dazu Studies, “Continuing the Legacy of Yang Jialuo into the Digital Age”——数字化时代下传承杨家洛的馈赠.
