Jaclyn Quaresma is a curator whose work considers the tension between the survival of the environment as we know it and our survival in the mediated environments we create for ourselves, both culturally and ecologically. Central to her curatorial praxis is an interest in non-dominant, anti-oppressive, multigenerational structures of gathering, learning, and sharing. Currently the Programming Director at Images, Jaclyn has held the position of Executive Director and Curator at Durham Art Gallery where she initiated the Rural Reading Riot Press and the accompanying Festival. She was Curator in Residence at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Agricultural College (2019-2021). She is a graduate of the Masters of Visual Studies: Curatorial Program at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, University of Toronto.
