London, England, United Kingdom
With a longstanding commitment to the contemporary visual art, my role as Curator at EKCO Projects and MOCA London revolves around producing notable exhibition catalogues and orchestrating projects that resonate globally. At the forefront of curatorial innovation, my expertise lies in art exhibition conceptualization, overseeing artist relations, and ensuring impactful press communications. My artistic practice encompasses sculptures, dance, and performative works, deeply engaged with themes of identity, materiality, and the diverse spectra of health and queer narratives. As a member of AICA and The Royal Sculpture Society, my mission is to enrich the dialogue within the art community, fostering intellectual and cultural growth through my curatorial endeavors.
