Rui Jiang

Rui Jiang is a Baltimore-based independent curator and writer. She holds a Master's degree in Curatorial Practice from Maryland Institute College of Art. Her research moves between semiotics, intimate gestures, and shifting dialogues, examining how art forms deconstruct and reconstruct within a polycentric field. She investigates the tensions embedded in exhibition-making—complicity, reflexivity, and the shifting power dynamics that shape artistic discourse. Through interdisciplinary approaches, she experiments with curatorial strategies that challenge linear narratives, embrace contradictions, and reimagine the relationships between artists, audiences, and institutions.
