Jo-Lene Ong is a curator in Amsterdam of Malaysian-Hokkien heritage. Her practice engages with counter-colonial ways of sensing, remembering, and organising. She got her start in the field at the intersection of art and civil society activism in Kuala Lumpur. Jo-Lene is pursuing a constellation of research on recovering erased histories and knowledge systems, and re-connecting with ancestors and ancestral knowledge. Jo-Lene is a program advisor for the 12th Seoul Mediacity Biennale and teaches theory at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie where she is also part of Urgent Ecologies: Towards A More Sustainable Curriculum working group.
