Ingrid Jones
Toronto-based curator and creative director, Ingrid Jones, examines the intersections of decolonial curatorial practice, transnational solidarities, and the politics of museum representation. Her research engages themes of marginalization and refusal through installation, media, and collaborative projects. Recent initiatives address liberatory practices of the African diaspora (Liberation in Four Movements, 2024), the unseen labour of BIPOC artists and cultural workers (Labour, 2024-25), and nostalgia for racialized communities framed through white supremacy (Nostalgia Interrupted, 2022). Jones co-founded Poor But Sexy (2009–2012), an independent art magazine recognized internationally for its collaborative approach, and Mutti (2018–2022), an artist space fostering community-based interdisciplinary projects. She has curated exhibitions and programs for the Doris McCarthy Gallery (Toronto), SAVVY Contemporary (Berlin), and the Art Museum at the University of Toronto. She has also lectured and created masterclasses on photographic best practices and design for Toronto Metropolitan University and Sheridan Institute, respectively. Her work has been supported by the Ontario Arts Council, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Reesa Greenberg Fund, and featured in Vice Berlin and Art, Design & Communication in Higher Education, among others.
