I have begun organizing gatherings for artists, writers, and thinkers whose work engages with disability, illness, and bodily change. The first took place alongside my solo exhibition at Foyer-LA. We came together to share our practices and plant seeds for new friendships. I hope these intimate conversations cultivate a sense of community that sustains us in the ongoing work of bringing our experiences and ideas into public life.

Recovery or Semblance of Recovery is a performative panel discussion with Aida Šehović, Sarah Plazas and myself that used my research into the ethics and techniques of restoring ancient sculpture as a jumping off point for a discussion that probes at how and why we recover. This event was part of the series Staging Sex, Staging Self organized by Chelsea Knight and Jonathan VanDyke.

As guest editor of the artist-run journal, VECTOR, I worked with NYC-based artists whose work intersects themes from my own practice including: the body as a container for memory; mirroring as a site of transformation; and language as a tool for renaming.

To celebrate the release Issue 8 of VECTOR I curated an evening of performances by contributing artists Nobutaka Aozaki, Jesus Benavente, Caitlin Berrigan, Amy Khoshbin, Julianne Swartz, Leslie Thornton, and collaborators Melanie Crean, Shaun Leonardo & Sable Elyse Smith.

In my role as Mazmanian Gallery Director (2019-26) I used my curatorial work to foster discourse across academic disciplines, to enrich and diversify the creative and intellectual resources on campus, and to increase representation of work by artists from historically marginalized groups.
