Curatorial Work
From 2022–2026, I served as Director of the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, where the majority of my curatorial work was centered. This work went well beyond programming lectures and workshops: I hosted artists in residency, working with them one-on-one to develop their practice and public offerings, and embedded programs across Pittsburgh institutions including the Large Scale Systems Museum, Duolingo, and Kelly Strayhorn Theater to ensure broad community access.
Alongside this institutional work, I also curate and produce events independently, building community around live video performance beyond CMU.
The following is a selected list of curated events, lectures, and workshops from the past five years. Photos from these events can be found in the slideshow to the right. And, video documentation of most STUDIO hosted lectures can be found here.
