Yun Cheng Chen (Lucky)
A strategist whose practice resists conventional classification.

Following his studies under Service Design pioneer Prof. Dr. Michael Erlhoff, Lucky returned to Taiwan in 2015 to spearhead various initiatives that implement creative institutionalism, directly confronting the structural precarity of marginalized groups within post-extractive global societies. He has since dedicated himself to architecting community-driven ecosystems for performing artists, restoring subjective agency for Guishan Island’s displaced residents, and advancing Decentralized Identity frameworks in Taiwan. His multifaceted practice as a curator, producer, dramaturg, democratic innovator, and researcher has garnered international awards and recognition from prestigious institutions, with collaborative projects touring major cultural hubs across Europe, North America, and Asia.

Currently, he is the Strategy Director of Les Petites Choses Production, Seabelongings, and Ground Zero Studio; the PI of the 2026 Common Art Action at the New Taipei City Art Museum; and a contributor to g0v.
