About Pia Johanson:
Pia Johanson is an artist, arts advocate, and community organizer. A painter, photographer, installation, and land artist, she has participated in more than a dozen group shows and has had 2 solo shows in the United States. She finds it difficult to commit to being merely defined as a visual artist and believes that life is art. Her educational background is predominantly in Community Development and Cultural Sustainability with a breadth in Curatorial Practice and Visual and Critical Studies.

As an independent curator working in Denver, Colorado, she spent four years co-directing the Assembly, an arts complex and creative collective supporting emerging contemporary artists. The Assembly addressed the misconception of artists as insular creators by providing all of their represented artists studio space contiguous to the exhibition spaces, encouraging collaboration, and engaging the greater community in a challenging dialogue about the role of artist originated creative culture in sustainability, urban vibrancy and gentrification.

In addition to hosting the International Experimental Film Festival, Ms. Johanson was the Programmer for Mountainfilm in Telluride, a geo-political film festival providing a platform for international discourse on the role of culture in creative solutions to global issues. Mountainfilm does not merely show moving pictures but focuses on a specific country or geographic area, gathering panels of experts to publicly engage in a series of creative process investigations.

Before relocating to Shanghai, she began community building initiatives among the Tibetan diaspora in India, culminating in a cross-cultural children’s theatre production in Dharamsala. She is in Shanghai to focus on studio practice and conceptual research.
