Diana Campbell is a Princeton educated American curator who has been working in Central, South, and Southeast Asia since 2010, primarily in India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, and Uzbekistan. She is committed to fostering a transnational art world, and her plural and long-range vision addresses the concerns of underrepresented regions and artists alongside the more established in manifold forums. While she was born in Los Angeles, her maternal family being indigenous CHamoru from the island of Guam, her heritage inspires her curatorial practice which seeks to amplify the reach of indigenous voices and knowledge systems.

Campbell is the Founding Artistic Director of the Dhaka-based Samdani Art Foundation in Bangladesh, a leading South Asian institution dedicated to supporting local artists and fostering transformative encounters with Bangladesh and South Asia. As Chief Curator of its flagship Dhaka Art Summit (DAS), she has led editions from 2014 to 2023 and is currently envisioning the next edition. Campbell is also Head of Global Initiatives at the Hartwig Art Foundation in Amsterdam, working across expanded notions of collecting, commissioning, and collaboration towards opening its new museum in Amsterdam in 2028.

Working between and across art, craft, performance, design, architecture, and academia, she has commissioned global projects and collaborated with over 2,000 creative practitioners from 70 countries, including Antony Gormley, Marina Tabassum, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Otobong Nkanga, Paul Pfeiffer, Rana Begum, Rizvi Hassan, Subodh Gupta, Delcy Morelos, and Sumayya Vally (Counterspace). She recently curated the inaugural Bukhara Biennial in 2025, which drew upon her experience curating large-scale public art as co-curator of DesertX 2023 in the Coachella Valley, as well as her experience as the Founding Artistic Director of Bellas Artes Projects in the Philippines, where she ran a residency and exhibition program in Manila and Bataan that enabled collaborative projects between artists and artisans from 2016–2018.
