Jack Thomas Taylor is a museum professional and social history curator, specializing at the intersection of art, media, and technology. With seventeen years of experience in arts, cultural and creative organizations across the Arabian Peninsula, particularly in Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, Jack's work spans exhibitions, publications, programs, and cultural and creative strategy addressing questions of identity, representation, and value across formal, informal, and non-formal contexts. He is a founding Curator at Northwestern University in Qatar's Media Majlis Museum—the only AAM-accredited museum outside the Americas—and a founding board member of ICOM Qatar. Alongside his curatorial work, Taylor is currently a PhD candidate in Culture, Media, and Creative Industries at King's College London. His empirical research develops a grounded understanding of how Qatar's cultural sector functions. It critically examines how creative industries frameworks are interpreted, adapted, and contested when implemented in distinctive socio-political environments, aligning with his broader academic interests of norm transfer, non-Western policy adaptation, and the governance of culture in states where creative industries are increasingly central to geopolitical strategy. He holds an MBA in Culture and Enterprise and an MA in Culture, Criticism, and Curation from Central Saint Martins.
