OBSERVER: PODIUM Co-Founder Cusson Cheng On Growing Locally and Thinking Globally in Hong Kong
24 March 2025
In the interview, Cusson Cheng discusses his background in curatorial roles at leading institution and commercial sector, where he identified a gap in Hong Kong’s art scene. This inspired him to co-found PODIUM with Charlotte Lin, whose major mission is to sustainably support underrepresented voices, particularly LGBTQ+ and female artists.
“This particular focus is a synthesis of my partner Charlotte Lin’s passions,” says Cusson Cheng, curatorial director of PODIUM. “We resonate with the creative sensibilities of these artists and would like to pave a path for them in Hong Kong, Asia and beyond.”
