AWT Video invites a guest curator to select a program of single-channel moving image works by Japanese and international artists represented by Art Week Tokyo's participating galleries. The program is screened continuously from 10am to 6pm in a special pavilion set up in public space in the Marunouchi district and is free to view during the five days of Art Week Tokyo. This year's edition of AWT Video is overseen by X Zhu-Nowell, the executive director and chief curator of Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai.

X Zhu-Nowell is a curator, writer, and institutional practitioner, currently serving as the executive director and chief curator of the Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai. Zhu-Nowell's practice is shaped by relational authorship and an approach to exhibition-making that foregrounds contradiction, displacement, and the labor of (mis)translation. At RAM, they have led a structural shift toward a "resistant institution," advancing artist commissions, research-led practice, and radical pedagogy through initiatives such as AUUUUDITORIUM and Complex Geographies. Recent projects include "Irena Haiduk: Nula" (2025–26), which transformed the museum into an active film set and participatory economy, and "The Great Camouflage" (2025–26), co-curated with Kandis Williams. Prior to joining RAM, Zhu-Nowell was a curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2014–21), where their exhibition "Wu Tsang: Anthem" was named one of the best of 2021 by the New York Times.
