Kate Wong

Kate Wong is a curator, writer, and researcher from Vancouver, British Columbia. She has held curatorial and leadership roles at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto (2022–24), Serpentine Galleries (2021–22), and V.O Curations (2019–2021), where she developed a multidisciplinary residency program that supported emerging cultural practitioners. Wong’s recent exhibitions and programs include Interface Remix by Tishan Hsu, Greater Toronto Art 2024—a triennial co-curated with Ebony L. Haynes and Toleen Touq—Alienarium 5 by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, and Park Nights 2022, which featured performances by Linton Kwesi Johnson, Roscoe Mitchell, and Josiane M.H. Pozi, presented in Theaster Gates’ Black Chapel. 

Wong approaches art as a site for critical discourse, centering people, process, and socially-engaged artistic practices. Working from and with marginalized perspectives, she seeks to build solidarity from these margins. Wong’s writing on contemporary art and culture has appeared recently in Clay Pop (Rizzoli, 2023), Oscar Yi Hou (James Fuentes Press, 2022), and publications such as e-flux, Yishu Journal, AnOther Mag, and frieze. Wong has worked on numerous books including Greater Toronto Art 2024 (co-edited with Jayne Wilkinson), Donald Dahmer by Rhea Dillon, and low theory issues 1-3. She has been an invited speaker at Tate Modern and V&A East and a guest lecturer and critic at institutions including Queen’s University, the University of Toronto, and the University of Guelph. Currently, Wong is a curator-in-residence for Images Festival 2025 and serves on the Board of Directors at Gallery TPW.
