Director, mt.project, Taipei, Taiwan.

Biography:

Eva Lin is an independent curator whose practice focuses on off-site and embodied methodologies, examining how curatorial processes engage local knowledge systems, social ecologies, and alternative epistemologies. Her projects frequently unfold in unconventional spaces, such as abandoned industrial sites, military infrastructures, temples, historic mines, and Indigenous communities, where long-term collaboration with local communities and cross-disciplinary practitioners forms a central part of her methodology, enabling the uncovering of overlooked or underrepresented narratives.

Lin approaches curatorial practice as a platform for knowledge production rather than representation, investigating the relational roles of materiality, landscape, and situated practices in shaping cultural narratives. Through interdisciplinary experimentation, she positions exhibitions as evolving processes of dialogue, field research, and collective learning, exploring how curatorial frameworks can function as relational infrastructures connecting artistic practice, community knowledge, and ecological contexts.

Her curatorial projects include the Austronesian Triennial 2027, the 18th Biennale Jogja KAWRUH: Land of Rooted Practices (2025); Sleepless in Stone (2024); You and I Live on Different Planets (Centre Pompidou-Metz, 2022, co-curated with Bruno Latour and Martin Guinard-Terrin); Taipei Biennial 2020–21 Public Program; Matsu Biennial(2022); The Upcoming Past (2019); and The Hidden South (2018).
