Jessica Turner is an emerging curator based in Belleville, Ontario. With an MA in Art History & Visual Culture and a BFA in Art Criticism & Curatorial Practice, she is set to begin a PhD in Screen Cultures & Curatorial Studies at Queens University in September 2025. 

Ms. Turner's M.A. thesis project investigates the intersection of art and climate change, exploring the transformative potential of art in catalyzing positive change and facilitating climate education through the integration of virtual reality, participatory practices, and multisensory exhibition design. 

Through her curatorial work, she seeks to examine the profound impact of art in bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and public understanding to build climate resilience through data-driven insights.
