Curating!
With years of experience producing and organizing community-engaged arts projects and events, literary anthologies, and more — I am excited to be offering my supportive and collaborative guidance to emerging and professional artists!
-
My true passion is to create webs of solidarity and connections through storytelling (in all mediums and formats).
-
My approach is holistic, and I am more of a conductor or weaver than a curator.
-
I aim for collaboration when co-creating an event or media-arts project or writing.
-
My practice and strengths are rooted in starting with a profound trust for the folks I am either working with or inviting in to be part of a project or event, and the story itself. Which means I centre relationships over all else.
My Experience
I have over two decades of experience producing and curating events from academic and activist conferences or gatherings, to literary-focused to music, to books, pamphlets, and zines, and beyond.
My Aspirations:
-
I aim to deepen connections and amplify voices and stories while focusing on expanding on the how and the who is invited in and involved.
-
My work is anchored in access with an intersectional approach.
-
I love to see curation as a form of composing our worlds, and so woven into all my works are interventions into areas of struggle and normalcy while also affirming all the ways we always-already are doing wonderful things, often thriving at the edges.
-
I am particularly keen on building webs of relationships through connecting folks to each other and our varied stories, and to diverse audiences.
-
Together, we can create impactful and relevant themes, topics, and stories for a variety of projects and events.
Payment and Fees:
My baseline fees support a living wage, and are flexible and case-by-case. I consider the scope of the project, the budget, and the work/contract when negotiating payment.
