Profile
Biography
Jori Snels is a double degree PhD candidate at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis of the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands and the Institute for Culture and Society at Western Sydney University, Australia. She is working on a PhD project (2019-2023) funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) in which she researches how contemporary Chinese digital art reflects on the possibilities and challenges of life in a digital society. She graduated with distinction from Art Studies (MPhil) at the University of Amsterdam and in her current research combines her background in art history with methods and theories from China studies, cultural Analysis, and anthropology. Currently, she is taking part in the IMPAKT Full Spectrum Curatorship Programme to develop her curatorial practice.
Jori has taught philosophy of science in the BA Media & Culture and has been a thesis supervisor in the MA Film Studies. She has published three articles in peer-reviewed journals: ‘Virtual connectedness in times of crisis: Chinese online art exhibitions during the COVID-19 pandemic’ (2021) in World Art; ‘The politics of aesthetics, space and community. An analysis of Same Old, Brand New by Cao Fei’ (2018) in Art and the Public Sphere; and ‘Collaborations between dissidence and obedience. A new perspective on alternative art practice in the GDR’ (2017) Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis.
