Chloe, Lok Yee Sin

I am standing for President of the History of Art Society because I believe our community has the potential to be more visible, connected, and ambitious.

I hope to build a society that actively generates opportunities for HoA students to take initiative. We need platforms to showcase ideas, experiment, and turn concepts into real projects. Through student-led exhibitions and internal project competitions, I want to empower members to try their ideas and see their work come to life. By making our projects public and dynamic, we can strengthen the presence of our HoA department within UCL and beyond.

I also aim to build a supportive network of HoA students and young creatives across disciplines, from fine art to history, architecture, and media, as well as other societies within and beyond UCL. Expanding our community expands what we can achieve together. I hope to offer deeper insights into diverse areas surrounding art, be it museum practices or underrepresented art movements, exploring topics beyond our course. Alongside this, I want to create shared artistic experiences, such as exhibition visits, film screenings, and symposiums, where we learn collectively beyond lectures.

Proactive and experienced in leadership in leading the visual art club, I value collaboration, feedback from all years, and open dialogue. With a cross-cultural perspective and growth mindset, I seek to build an inclusive and forward-thinking HoA society that equips and empowers us. Thank you:)
