Présentation d’archives de la Maison Saint-Joseph was developed during my residency at .art.residency in Crépy-en-Valois, France. Through intuitive staging, juxtaposition, and speculative meaning-making, the exhibition functioned as a situated, embodied archive of my time there.

Installed on a 10-foot wooden table in the residency’s formal dining room, the display brought together more than 30 antiques, ephemeral items, and decorative objects from the site’s collection. A responsive approach was taken to arrange this semi-maximalist display, in which formal decisions were made alongside the discovery of truths, both historical and theoretical, that existed within each object. 

This mode of working allowed me to explore new storytelling tools, especially when not working with contemporary art nor artists. I consider this exhibition a ‘second becoming’: one in which the curatorial operates as a method for understanding worldly intricacies, and where my practice can exist within their exploration.

Officially post-grad 🎓. Dissertation finished 📑.
Stage walked 🚶🏽‍♂️‍➡️. Ready for the next chapter 📗.

This was a daunting task, but I pushed myself hella hard to get it done.
I want to thank everyone for the encouragement and giving me that spark I needed to do this ❤️.

My research focused on a new framework and term for understanding an emergence within contemporary curatorial practice — I called it Transcuratorial — in which practitioners are applying curatorial approaches to lead on-going, community-rooted projects, initiatives, and organizations, and creatively contributing to cultural infrastructure through unique forms of access, connectivity, knowledge production, and support for creatives.

Although it feels like this just the beginning his is the best research I’ve ever doneI was able to bring my full self to this work and I’m proud to have produced this.

If you’d like to read it, DM me your email and I’ll send it over 📧

I would genuinely love feedback from people both inside and outside of curatorial/arts & cultural work — this kind of thinking grows through conversation and community. 🙏

Still reeling from the past week! One of my favorite (working) holidays, Miami Art Week 📍🏝️, is always a hectic yet wonderful way to spend a few days with everyone before the new year. This year I worked with to produce a number of incredible panels and chats throughout the week (which I can’t wait to share) — I appreciate the continued belief others have in my ability to deliver meaningful, engaging programming 🫶🏽🤎.

Congratulations to all the artists who showed, all the galleries working hard to showcase talent, all the producers and organizers for all the work that goes into these happenings, all the Uber drivers that go back and forth across the bridge 😂🚙, and everyone else that makes these experiences special 🥂.

Loved my time in Lithuania 🇱🇹 … thank you for introducing to the incredible scene in Vilnius… One of the first places I visited was the incredible Church Heritage Museum with some wild baroque-style portraits with metal fragments, specimen tables, and intricate/gorgeous processional items and engraved crosses from Palestine!

S/o to for taking that Curator-as-Producer role on through his project and scaled public bath presentation at

The theme of afterlife of art, craft, material, and culture produced some amazing works from around the globe. So glad I got to make it there! Hopefully I can come back soon!

(sidenote: don’t try and play me and say i have lacienega boulevardez feet 😂 i think the camera was on .5 🫣🦶🤣)

Travelled to Dublin 🇮🇪 a couple of weeks ago to see 🌈🌈 on tour. Seeing the show was magical — great energy in the room and they sounded phenomenal!! Furthermore, it was super inspirational seeing a Baltimore band that built their audience slowly and authentically rise to this level of output and production — its very reassuring as a creative.

Afterwards G and i got to hang out and reconnect in Dublin, fall in love again and allat 🥰 (for all my couples out there, NEVER stop dating your partner — a piece of advice I’ve recieved and will remember to never forget)… We also went to the that told stories of people with Irish heritage including Rihanna, Obama… Andrew Jackson 😒 … very good storytelling and their technology was next level! One of my favorite aspects was how they drew parallels to Irish culture and the exchanges with Black Americans and Caribbeans… If you’re ever in Dublin, whether you have Irish roots or not, i’d recommend taking a couple hours to check it out.

So happy I got to visit my brother .hristo in Sofia 🇧🇬. This felt like I was living in a documentary about some of the most interesting histories of Bulgarian art and cultural. From histories of Socialist Realism to controversial monuments to some of Sofia’s most prominent institutions and how people are working to progress contemporary art’s presence in the city 🤯 We visited the Biennale of Glass, Digital Art Biennale, and an incredible work in progress at +359 Gallery.

Another incredible experience all thanks to the brilliant work of cultural workers 🤝🏽 forever grateful!

Paris never disappoints, especially when I have the best travel partner and we can celebrate family milestones like ’s birthday 🥳🇫🇷.

And I finally got to see my brother .r’s work in-person! 🤩🤩🤩

Also, if you’re at London Frieze this week, going to see Experiences Carved from Time curated by presented by & is a must!

I spent an incredibly refreshing week touching grass and bush pushing in Vermont at the In Situ Polyculture Commons residency as their first curatorial resident!!

This was the perfect way to end a magical summer — a utopian mix of relaxation and productivity. Unplugged from the grind, social media, and many times cell service, this week was probably the first time since childhood that I was engulfed in nature for an extended amount of time. This helped me to reflect on my personal growth as a human while engaging in activities reminiscent of boyhood (like running through a forest just for the fun of it🌳🏃🏽‍♂️🪾😂).

I got to reflect on my curatorial practice and what I want to bring to the field while also creating some new language and frameworks for some upcoming projects I’m working on 😉.

I made some new friends from Milwaukee (waddup Ill Mil🦌), VT, and MA — our dialouge, exchanges, and existence within each others’ spaces I’m sure will show itself in lasting ways (it always does, doesn’t it!? 😆).

Thank you for you support, and the creation and maintaining of such an unbelieveable space and experience.

My time in Kyiv, indescribable… One of the most outstanding places I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. My cultural guide made sure I experienced the city FORREAL. Galleries, museums, vintage shops, coffee shops, you name it! She also introduced me to some incredible cultural workers (including my incredible host .aniya) really doing impactful work — all this during times of war.

From publishing a book that translates interviews focusing on Black Live Matter to bringing me to ‘s press day so i could see all 6 of their new exhibitions to my new homie Vlad putting me onto Ukrainian rap with artists on the front lines rhyming over the radio.

And from apartment to garage spaces, they are showcasing art in experimental ways, making a way for the art to persist no matter what. I loved loved loved it!

This is a special place with special people having a human experience I was honored to witness. My heart is witchu Kyiv! 💙💛🇺🇦
