Part 3: On Collecting

Collecting Now, with Winnie Chung

Journalist Winnie Chung will draw on her experience in global media, and explore how digital culture and social media are reshaping what, and why, we collect. From the rise of playful contemporary objects to viral trends such as the Labubu phenomenon, this talk considers how meaning, value, and desire are shifting in a rapidly changing world.

From fine art to design objects and the rise of playful, everyday collectibles, this talk considers how value is created beyond price, and how collections reflect identity, memory and the times we live in.

Winnie Chung is Editorial Director of Specialist Publications at the South China Morning Post. With more than two decades of experience in magazine and newspaper publishing, she has held senior editorial roles across leading titles including Cosmopolitan, ELLE, and Harper’s BAZAAR.
