About Cultural Fulcrum

Cultural Fulcrum is an independent platform for cultural intelligence founded by Vivienne Chow, an award-winning journalist, writer, and cultural strategist. Through original analysis and commentary, it examines and synthesises the intersection of art, culture, markets, policy, and power—with Asia at the centre of the global conversation.

The platform’s publications include The Fulcrum Five, a weekly essay that questions and analyses the major cultural signals observed throughout the week, and The Asia Fulcrum, which examines art, markets, and cultural developments across Asia and its global diaspora.
