OCAD University’s RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers is excited to announce Jasmine Liaw as the recipient of the Critical Distance Centre for Curators 2026 Projections Program Call for Curators Career Launchers!
Jasmine Liaw is an interdisciplinary artist, director, curator, and designer in contemporary dance performance, new media art, and experimental film. As a method to retracing oral histories and heritage, she chooses to create relationships between the body and new media to unravel auto-ethnographic research and visualize an understanding for complex intersectional identity. In the words of Immony Mèn, she "views the body as a recorder, and at the same time, a record keeper." Motivated by the relationalities between humans, beyond-humans, and homeland, her practice explores the kinesthetic in-betweenness of bodies in motion through the topography of the body. She looks to non-linear, slow, collaborative, and intuitive forms of creation by being present with the weight of displaced time as a circulatory offering of resistance against dominant Western structures; developing an endurance for generative changes and knowledge(s).
