Jack Tsai

Jack Tsai began his PhD in Art History at the University of Birmingham in September 2024 and is funded by the Taiwan Ministry of Education Scholarship. His current research, titled “Art Interventions and Urban Transformation in Post-Industrial Birmingham: The Social Practices of Cultural Intermediaries (1989–2016)”, explores how cultural intermediaries impact urban planning, cultural policy, and community development through art practices.

Jack holds a Master’s degree in Art History and Curating from the University of Birmingham. He has gained curatorial experience in Digbeth, a vibrant creative hub near Birmingham’s city centre, as well as collection assistant experience in Walsall. These experiences have deepened his interest in socially engaged art practices and their role in fostering urban transformation and cultural resilience. Jack’s background also includes a Bachelor’s degree in Art and Design from National Dong Hwa University and a Master’s in Art and Design from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, where he majored in artistic creation with classical oil painting techniques.

Jack’s interest in curating centres on its role in fostering community dialogue and addressing social inequalities, mainly through participatory and community-based projects. He aims to contribute to advancing curatorial practices that integrate critical art discourse with local community engagement.
