Diana Campbell’s curatorial philosophy is deeply rooted in her upbringing between Los Angeles and Guam, where she learned to value the 'knowledge of making' over the preservation of static objects. This perspective, shaped by the ephemeral nature of art in tropical climates, drives her interest in process-based contemporary art and collaborative knowledge-making. Her work emphasizes the importance of embodied intelligence and the synthesis of lived experience, moving away from traditional institutional hierarchies that prioritize finished, permanent works.
