Kar-men Cheng

Currently trying to deepen my art practice and get proficient in a process of my own. Unfortunately this gets put on hold from time to time.

My full-time job is in Centre for Research In Practice and Pedagogy, where I am part of a team looking at how schools partner with social service and community organisations to support primary school students in vulnerable populations.

I also do copywriting, editing (text and sound), and conduct sociological research on a freelance basis. My recent research work pertains to arts-based community development and strata-titled malls as sites of cultural capital.

Over the last ten years, I’ve worked in advertising, consulting, and diverse education-related roles.   These jobs offer a space to operate through qualitative research, sociology, and art.

In other words– questions, stories, structures and people!
