CURATORIAL
I approach curatorial projects through historical research, narrative relationships, and close attention to the dialogue between artworks, artists, and their contexts. My practice is grounded in sustained engagement with artists whose perspectives have expanded contemporary conversations, including women, queer and LGBTQ+ artists, and artists of color.
Each project is developed individually through research, collaboration, and thoughtful inquiry, creating immersive experiences that connect audiences with art in meaningful and unexpected ways.
My curatorial foundation was shaped through institutional training and independent practice in New York, including a Master’s degree in Modern Art and Curatorial Studies from Columbia University, a curatorial fellowship at The Kitchen, and experience in the Contemporary Art department at the Guggenheim Museum. My projects and programs have been presented at institutions including MoMA PS1, ICA Philadelphia, and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. My projects and programs have been presented at institutions including MoMA PS1, ICA Philadelphia, and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.
Today, I develop exhibitions and cultural projects that bring together artists, spaces, and communities through thoughtful storytelling and site-responsive experiences.

FEATURED PROJECT
OFRENDA (2026) was a site-specific exhibition by Berlin- and Ibiza-based artist Kathryn Garcia, curated by Sarvia Jasso and presented in Ibiza’s historic Sa Penya neighborhood during CAN Art Week 2026. Presented in collaboration with Portals de Feixa Cultural Association, the exhibition featured an opening-night performance by members of the Huni Kuin community.
Developed in response to the architecture and history of the site, the exhibition featured a new series of drawings made in Ibiza, the film She Changes Everything She Touches and Everything She Touches Changes (2023), projected inside a cave, and a pyramid sculpture installed within the Phoenician cistern.
OFRENDA explored the relationship between place, ancestry, ritual, and transformation, bringing contemporary art into dialogue with the layered history and cultural memory of the site.
