We continue our planet focused season this week with curator Diana Campbell, who is committed to fostering a transnational art world. Championing socially engaged artistic practices of underrepresented artists and regions has earned her recognition on the annual ArtReviewPower100 list. 🏆
Since 2013, Diana has served as the Founding Artistic Director of Dhaka-based Samdani Art Foundation, and Chief Curator of the Dhaka Art Summit. It is the highest daily visited contemporary art exhibition in the world. She is also the Founding Artistic Director of BellasArtes Projects in the Philippines and curated Frieze Projects in London for 2018 and 2019.
In this episode Diana speaks about how she ended up becoming one of the world’s leading contemporary art curators - from Dhaka to Frieze; and about culture in the time of a climate crisis. Stay tuned for her plans for Desert X in the Coachella Valley in 2023. 🌵🇧🇩🎨
