Concept/Curation

Montréal - Miami - New York



Black Experience isn’t a Spectacle explores the legacy of the voyeuristic gaze in visual representations of the Black body. It intends to exist as a restorative gesture against the erasure of Afrocentric perspectives in [art] history.

The concept’s foundational exhibition took place in Montréal, September 2020, at Anteism Books Gallery; it was then presented as a Special Project during the Printed Matter Inc. Book Fair at NADA Miami Art Basel 2021, where it won the MobileCoin Arts prize, to holding an exhibition space during Printed Matter’s Art Book Fair 2022.

Curatorial Assistant / Visitor Services Assistant
 National Gallery of Canada






In joining the National Gallery’s curatorial team, I conducted biographical and provenance research and wrote concise and accessible bilingual copy for the national institution’s exhibition spaces, printed materials, patron-facing webpages and virtual guides, press releases, enewsletters, and printed catalogues. I also handled clerical duties including email and phone public communications as well as membership management by maintaining records, processing renewals, and implementing outreach strategies.

Gallery Manager/Curator
0x Society






I supported the founders of Canada’s first crypto art gallery in establishing foundational curatorial copy standards, language and brand voice. 
I conceptualized exhibition themes while developing curatorial content and managing artists communications as well as in-gallery staff operations. I authored an in-depth knowledge database offering a digital academy platform that is the foundational curriculum of the gallery’s grants program.
All exhibition materials were implemented in strategic social media and enewsletter marketing plans.
