Jamie Ho
Jamie Ho is an interdisciplinary artist and educator from Fort Myers, Florida. Her art practice engages with GIFs, photography, new media, and installation to investigate the long-term impact of assimilation and cultural bereavement through references to ancestral Chinese traditions and artifacts. Her work troubles the history of public spectacle and display of Asian American women, using performance and lighting studio to challenge societal expectations of gender roles and performance.
Ho holds an MFA at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a BFA from the University of New Mexico. She has exhibited works at Westbeth Gallery, Houston Center for Photography, ChaShaMa, Vermont Center for Photography, Candela Books + Gallery, and more. She has been included in the 2023 Silver List, was a 2021 Critical Mass Finalist and was awarded the 40th Center Annual Beth Block Honorarium by Houston Center for Photography. She was awarded residencies at ACRE Residency and Vermont Studio Center. Ho is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Florida State University.
