CURATORIAL

I approach curatorial projects with close attention to historical context, narrative relationships, and the dialogue between works. My practice is grounded in lived experience and sustained engagement with artists whose voices have been historically overlooked, including women, queer and LGBTQ+ artists, and artists of color.

Each project is developed individually through research, collaboration, and sustained inquiry, creating experiences that are immersive, critically engaged, and responsive to context.

My curatorial foundation was shaped through institutional training and independent experimentation, including a Master’s degree in Modern Art and Curatorial Studies from Columbia University, and curatorial roles with The Kitchen and the Guggenheim Museum. My projects and programs have been presented at institutions such as MoMA PS1, ICA Philadelphia, and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

Exhibitions & Public Programs

Developed in collaboration with artists, estates, and institutions, from research through presentation, foregrounding artistic intention while engaging audiences critically.

Site-Specific & Experimental Projects

Curatorial initiatives that extend beyond traditional frameworks, including my New York apartment gallery — an early space for experimentation, dialogue, and unconventional encounters with art.
