Jessica Kwok is a curator and researcher currently based in New York and London where she works at Asymmetry as Head of Programmes and Curatorial. Her research interests are driven by the effects of spatial politics on both the social body and the individual body, using feminist perspectives to fracture governing frameworks that influence cultural production, labour, and performance. Jessica previously served as Associate Curator at Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York from 2019-2026, where she curated and co-organized projects with artists Alison Nguyen (2026), Jingru (Cyan) Cheng and Chen Zhan (2025), Ming Fay (2025), Gala Porras-Kim (2024), Canal Street Research Association (2023), Amanda Williams (2021), and Rayyane Tabet (2020), among others. From 2017-2020, she founded and directed domesti.city, a project space in Lower Manhattan. Her writing can be found in Flash Art, Frieze, Viscose Journal, and other publications, as well as in artist books and catalogues. She is in the editorial collective of Women & Performance and has collaborated with The New Museum of Contemporary Art and Protocinema as a curatorial mentor. Jessica holds a Masters of Architecture from The New School in New York.
