Jamie Ho is an interdisciplinary artist from Fort Myers, FL, and is currently based in Houston, TX. Her art practice engages with GIFs, photography, and installation to investigate the long-term impact of assimilation and cultural bereavement through references of ancestral Chinese traditions and artifacts. Her work troubles the history of public spectacle and display of Asian American women, using performance and lighting studio to challenge societal expectations of gender roles and performance.
Ho holds an MFA at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and received her BFA from the University of New Mexico. She has exhibited works at Westbeth Gallery as part of the 2024 The Faraway Nearby Cohort as well as Houston Center for Photography, ChaShaMa, Vermont Center for Photography, Candela Books + Gallery, and recently screened work at Stove Works. She has been included in the 2023 Silver List, was a 2021 Critical Mass Finalist and was awarded the 40th Center Annual Beth Block Honorarium by Houston Center for Photography. She was awarded residencies at ACRE Residency and Vermont Studio Center and will be an Artist-in-Residence at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts (Summer 2025) and Visual Studies Workshop (Fall 2025).
