Endorsed by the Shanghai Municipal Government and funded by the Samuel Kung Foundation, MoCA Shanghai is devoted to the promotion of Chinese and international contemporary art. Managed by a team of local and international professionals with extensive curatorial and administrative experiences, MoCA Shanghai intends to lead in nurturing the appreciation of Chinese and international contemporary art and design, in encouraging cultural exchange between Shanghai and the world, and in promoting professionalism in museum management and curatorial practices in China.
Internship Description:
An internship with MoCA Shanghai will allow a student to familiarize herself with a young non-profit museum in China. Besides working in conjunction with the educational and curatorial departments on the preparation of exhibitions and exhibition related public programs, the intern will create her own educational workshop in conjunction with the current exhibition’s content and themes (see website for past workshops). This will be her major project for the summer and will be presented to the public during her internship. The workshop can be targeted towards children, young adults or adults. The workshop must be taught in Chinese and English. The intern will receive help from the local staff but the ideas must be her own. In addition, the intern will research the current exhibition in order to provide tours in English and Chinese to tourists, locals and media.
