I have served as Co-Curator and Consulting Curator for a variety of exhibitions and institutions. During my time as the Consulting Curator for the Columbia Museum of Art, I worked with a number of collections and artists, developing programming, facilitating dialogue, and giving talks. I am currently collaborating with several cultural heritage institutions in and around Gainesville, FL, to create exhibitions which lift up critical narratives and artists.
Shadow to Substance: Photography Examining Black Lives
Harn Museum of Art, 2021
Shadow to Substance creates a chronological arc from the past to the present into the future using historical photographs from the Harn Museum and UF Smathers Library collections and through the lens of Black photographers working today. It examines Jim Crow Florida, the Great Migration, the Civil Rights Movement and Black Lives Matter. But it does so through images that expand ideas around healing, myth, intimacy, joy, resistance and rebirth. This exhibition is co-curated by myself, Dr. Carol McCusker, and doctoral candidate Kimberly Williams.
