Rebecca Wang 王晨釔 is a curator and artist working between her hometown of Hangzhou, China, and Vancouver, Canada.

Her multidisciplinary practice navigates personal confusions about life, often stemming from the absurdity of capitalist consumer culture.

王晨釔是一位常驻家乡杭州和加拿大温哥华的策展人和藝術家。她的策展研究關注神話、民間傳說、日常生活以及離散經驗；她的多媒介藝術創作聚焦於個體在生活中所遇到的困惑，這些困惑往往與資本主義消費文化所折射出的荒謬感有關。作為列治文美術館的策展助理，她自2022年起負責 Richmond City Hall Galleria 和 The Annex Gallery 的策展工作，並為主展館作國語導覽。
