Presented every two years, Luminocity is a week-long, new media, art exhibition that showcases video projects by local, national and international artists in unexpected public spaces throughout the downtown core of Kamloops. As an off-site Kamloops Art Gallery initiative, the projects embraces new creative concepts and modes of expression in the media arts field and brings recent video projects that have previously shown primarily in gallery settings to the outdoors.
Charo Neville is Curator at the Kamloops Art Gallery, where she has developed exhibitions and publications since 2011. She has held positions as Curatorial Assistant at the Vancouver Art Gallery; Associate Director at Catriona Jeffries Gallery and Interim Curator/Director at Artspeak. Charo also served on the Board of Directors at the Western Front artist run centre from 2006 to 2010. Her curatorial practice supports artists who engage with the social and political potential of art. Through projects like Luminocity, which she launched in Kamloops in 2014, Charo is interested in creating opportunities for public art that shifts our relationship with urban spaces and expands access to contemporary art.
