Joni Low (劉植紅) is a writer, curator and scholar whose practice explores interconnection, intercultural conversations, and sensory experience. Currently a CGS-D SSHRC Doctoral Fellow at SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts, she is researching artists from diasporic and intersectional perspectives who are sensing otherwise, towards different ways of knowing – and how this resonates across somatic therapies, neuroscience, and decolonial healing. For over a decade, Low has curated exhibitions across Canada, with artists including Germaine Koh, Andrew Yong Hoon Lee, Charles Campbell, Chloë Lum & Yannick Desranleau, Hank Bull, and Laiwan. Since 2004, her writing has been published in exhibition catalogues and journals including Artforum, Canadian Art, ESPACE Art Actuel, and Yishu: Journal for Contemporary Chinese Art. She is co-editor of the publication What Are Our Supports? – 23 artists reflecting on supports during precarious times, based on her 2018 curatorial project – which was shortlisted for the 2024 City of Vancouver Book Awards. Low has served on local and national award juries and is on the editorial board of The Capilano Review. She lives and works on unceded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ territories.
