Esther Choi is a Canadian artist and writer based in New York City[1] and the creator of dialogical social practice artworks such as Office Hours, a series of online conversations between BIPOC artists and designers started in 2020[2] and Public Service, a web series involving BIPOC cultural workers in conversations about cultural change.[3] Office Hours was conceived as a response to address the problem of BIPOC underrepresentation in the culture industries.[4]

Choi is the creator of Le Corbuffet (Prestel, 2019), a Fluxus-inspired cookbook inspired by a menu for Bauhaus-founder, Walter Gropius,[5] that she found while engaging in archival research for her doctorate in architectural history at Princeton University.[6] Choi has stated that the project "attempts to prod at the notion of connoisseurship, and the systems by which taste (both literal and figurative) are created."[7] Le Corbuffet was nominated for a James Beard Award for Photography in 2020.[8]

Choi is the coeditor of Architecture At the Edge of Everything Else (MIT Press, 2010)[9] and Architecture Is All Over (Columbia Books on Architecture and the City, 2017).[10]
