Internship Program

FQM | Projects for Art and Visual Culture is a unique art organization dedicated to expanding people’s understanding of an independent cultural entity by facilitating new connections between the cultural industry, research, and art. Through discussion, publication, and exhibition, the FQM serves as an interdisciplinary hub for fields such as art, literature, philosophy, science, design, economy, and international politics, with the aim of understanding the ever-evolving relationships between the world and our responses to the world, the local and the global, as well as that between human and nature. Connecting these fields of work in an interdisciplinary manner, the FQM, as an agile organization, focuses on developing and presenting themes of East Asian culture and contemporary art to the broader community in the twenty-first century.
