Asymmetry is a non-profit independent organisation based in London that supports curators and researchers with Chinese and Sinophone backgrounds. Through fellowships, scholarships, public programmes, research, and a specialist library, we create space for critical inquiry and long-term dialogue. By fostering connective collaboration, we contribute to more inclusive futures for contemporary art.
