Wan Ing Que
anthropologist, educator, and cultural worker
Wan Ing Que, or Ying, is an anthropologist, educator, and cultural worker whose work draws from curatorial and artistic practice. It manifests in action research and collective practice affiliated to social movements and cultural activism, ranging from writing and programming to radio and theater works.
Her organizing work as part of a larger anti-racist and queer feminist movement spun an entangled relational web around Utrecht based art institutions Casco and BAK and the various collectives she was and is a part of, such as Gira Holanda (2021-ongoing), Read-in (2016-ongoing), Moira Exporiment (2020-2023), the Disobedient Art School (2020-2022), niet normaal* (2016-2022) and Kritische Studenten Utrecht (2011-2015).
For Jeanne van Heeswijk’s Trainings for the Not Yet at BAK (2019–2020), Que was part of the core team with Grace Lostia, Jun Saturay and Alejandro Navarete Cortés, who set up and ran the b.ASIC a.CTIVIST k.ITCHEN. During the Ultradependant Public School, artist Elaine W. Ho and Que ran the Ultracirculation study group in close collaboration with Kunci Study Forum and Collective, the Black Book Assembly and Angeliki Diakrousi.
Que is currently coordinator of the Information Making domain at BAK Basecamp, curator for Happenings and Anarchive at cultural center Roodkapje in Rotterdam and a guide for the traces of slavery walks in Utrecht.
