My curatorial work focuses on providing platforms for artists whose work challenges, exceeds, or is illegible to traditional exhibition strategies. My experience includes curatorial and research fellowships at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Menil Drawing Institute in Houston, and the Morgan Library & Museum in New York, as well as in university galleries, experimental apartment spaces, and community arts organizations.
