My two year experience working on Tate international touring exhibition development and pitches confirmed for me the importance of geographic and cultural specific spaces, contexts, and audiences. As a curator I focus on who one wants to reach and why rather than simply what one wants to put on a wall. My work has since moved between commercial and independent galleries in London, New York and Berlin, with recent projects at 56 Henry and Ida’s Room.

Some of my strongest lessons in audience centered experiences come from having worked in music including supporting Metallica’s M72 stadium tour, advising the major-label British girl group Say Now, and producing dozens of artist events for one of the world’s largest online K-pop communities.

Now pursuing an MFA in Curating at Goldsmiths, I am bringing those worlds together through fan culture, gigs, and nightlife — not as things to put inside exhibitions, but as places where curating might already be happening.
