I am a writer, editor, curator, and a curatorial advisor to Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics (September 7, 2024 – January 5, 2025). My writing and curating engage with debates on the philosophy of art and race, as well as spatial and environmental justice.
I am the curator of A NonHuman Horizon: Andrea Chung, Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio, Jenny Yurshansky, and The Harrison Studio (June 29 – September 1, 2019) at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions and Restless Debris: Kevin Jerome Everson, Latipa (née Michelle Dizon), and Ivor Shearer (January 9 – February 6, 2016) at the University Art Gallery, University of California, Irvine.
Since 2018, I have stewarded the Community Reading Group (CRG), a critical literacy collective that is dedicated to verbalizing the limits of community and the duties of common life. CRG is organized by Olivia Leiter, Michael Berlin, Joy Park, Hailey Loman, Evelena Ruether, and Zach Whitworth. I live in Los Angeles.
