Curatorial Work
I curated the exhibition Undercurrents at the Marta Czok Fondazione in Venice, Italy. The exhibition brought together artists from across the globe to respond to the unique ecological, historical, and political positioning of the Venetian Lagoon. I also edited the catalogue of the exhibition, available for order.
