I am a curator, researcher and currently a PhD candidate at the Centre for Transnational Art, Identity and Nation (TrAIN) at Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London. My research looks at the emergence and development of black and anti-imperial feminist epistemologies in diasporic artistic praxis in the UK. I am interested in how interdisciplinary methodologies allow for feminist visual and critical enquiry that draws on embodied, speculative and relational ways of knowing. I have previously held curatorial roles at Camden Art Centre and at the Hayward Gallery, where I organised major exhibitions by Dayanita Singh, Jeremy Deller and Ernesto Neto among many others and co-curated Hayward Project Space exhibitions Jananne Al-Ani: Excavations; What’s Love Got to Do with It (2014); and Dineo Seshee Bopape: slow-co-ruption (2015). I was Assistant Curator of the 58th Venice Biennale exhibition May You Live in Interesting Times. In 2018 I was awarded a Gasworks/Triangle Network Fellowship and I am working with Sayantan Mitra Boka on a forthcoming publication about the work of the Dhaka-based artist-led initiative Britto Arts Trust.
