Suvi Bains is an Associate Curator at the Surrey Art Gallery whose curatorial and artistic practice is rooted in cultural inclusivity, community collaboration, and critical engagement. With a background in photography and certification as an Expressive Art Therapist, Bains holds a BFA from the University of the Fraser Valley and studied photography at the University of South Wales.

Her curatorial work prioritizes access — including linguistic accessibility, particularly in Panjabi — and is grounded in the belief that communities deserve to see themselves reflected in gallery and museum spaces. Through both curating and creating, Bains illuminates personal narratives that confront stereotypes and the stigmas faced by marginalized communities. She collaborates with a variety of artists to help inform cultural understanding, appreciation, and cross-cultural dialogue. Her approach positions art as a platform for visibility, representation, and meaningful social engagement.
