An experiential creative studio
 engaging audiences globally
through artist-led experiences.

While living in China for nearly a decade, our founder Zandie Brockett 张桂才 began to see Asia not as the ‘East’ but, rather, west of her hometown in Los Angeles.

From our origins as a curatorial studio reframing stories about contemporary Asia, West of Here has grown into an agency.

west of here asks how can new models support the production of art and culture in a shifting economy. We understand the power of shifting perspectives by building authentic communities that inspire the culture to imagine otherwise.
