Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, Emma Miles is a curator and creative consultant working with artists and creative practitioners - to articulate their practice, connect their work with wider audiences, collaborators and opportunities, and build sustainable ecosystems around what they do.

Emma’s approach is informed by her background in social science and curatorial practice, which has shaped her interest in identity, behaviour, perception and the ways meaning is communicated socially. Her work operates across the cultural and the commercial, drawing on experience across contemporary art, curating, writing, creative direction and community building.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Linguistics from McGill University, where she specialised in Sociolinguistics with a focus on identity and code-switching. She later earned a Master’s in Curatorial Practice from the Istituto Europeo di Design (Firenze), where she developed her practice in contemporary art curation and exhibition design. For her dissertation, The Tilt of Time, she collaborated with seven contemporary artists and a curatorial collective of ten women to co-develop an exhibition, public programme and catalogue.

Recent curatorial projects: In the Cocoon (Kingston, 2026), Sense of Place (Kingston, 2025), Reimagining Cultural Memories (Kingston, 2024), Heather Sutherland Wade: Hues of Jamaica (Kingston, 2024), The Tilt of Time (Florence, 2023) and Memory Effect (Florence, 2023).
