His academic journey included a scholarship at the University of Beijing and a year at Humboldt University of Berlin, where he deepened his knowledge of Mandarin and Chinese literature.
Giuliano later earned an MA in International Journalism from City University London, supported by a prestigious EU scholarship. His final project focused on the experiences of queer refugees and the emotional toll of proving their identities.
Professionally, Giuliano worked as a producer for BBC World Service and BBC Radio 2 and spent seven years in Beijing as a freelance journalist for international media outlets and a TV Director for China’s national broadcaster. At the NCPA (Beijing’s National Centre for the Performing Arts), he worked as an international producer, facilitating performances by world-renowned companies including Shakespeare’s Globe, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Martha Graham Dance Company, Stuttgart Ballet and many more.
