Cissie Fu | Academic Leadership & Faculty at LASALLE Singapore
Head, McNally School of Fine Arts

Associate Professor Cissie Fu

Cissie Fu
  • DPhil (Politics and International Relations), University of Oxford, UK
  • MSc (Political Research and Methodology), University of Oxford, UK
  • MSt (Women’s Studies, with distinction), University of Oxford, UK
  • AB (Government and Philosophy, cum laude), Harvard University, US

Dr Cissie Fu is a political theorist and co-founder of the Political Arts Initiative which is interested in the ways in which people interact and compose political ideas and actions through technology and the arts.

Born in Hong Kong, Cissie studied, taught, curated and performed across cultural and educational institutions in Asia, Europe, the UK, and the Americas and most recently as Dean of the Faculty of Culture and Community at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Canada.

With a forthcoming open textbook on cultural production and the law, Cissie is currently completing a monograph on the politics of silence, which draws from artistic practices to resuscitate silence as a positive political concept. Cissie’s practice-led research interests in relational aesthetics and decolonial action, combined with her experiments in experiential and transformative organisational design, inform her approach to institution-building as a creative, critical and communal cultural practice.
