Beatrice Glow is an artist-researcher leveraging interactive multimedia installations and multi-sensory experiences in service of public history and just futures. Her diverse practice includes sculptural installations, olfactory art, emerging media, and multi-lingual publishing. Working through anti-colonial and diasporic lens, Glow often co-labors with scholars and community stakeholders to assemble surviving fragments and question dominant narratives. Her ongoing research into the social histories of plants sketches vignettes about the entangled realities of dispossession, enslavement, migrations and extractive economies.

Her solo exhibitions include "Forts and Flowers," Taipei Contemporary Art Center, Taiwan, 2019 and "Aromérica Parfumeur," Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Chile, 2016. She also was a participating artist in the inaugural Honolulu Biennial, 2017.
