      As a host of the Brent Biennial 2022 "In the House of my Love," I oversee a variety of contemporary art exhibitions in unique locations across Kilburn, Willesden and Harlesden.

    • Hanna Holborn Gray undergraduate research fellow
      • May 2020 - Aug 2020

      I was awarded a fellowship to undertake an independent research project in the humanities for one summer. My project looks at the embroidered textiles of the Miao people, a minority ethnic group from Southwest China. The goal of my project is to consider what these collections and exhibitions reveal about the construction of a Miao identity in the context of minority politics, the identity politics that concerns minority nationalities in China.

      • Mar 2019 - Mar 2019

      I worked under the supervision of an alumna at the museum for a week. I helped remount and re-catalogue some ethnographic materials on display in the main gallery. Under the instructions of the curator, I conducted research on the Chinese cannery workers in Haines and rewrote labels for the associated objects in the collection. I also learned about the responsibilities of a museum director by shadowing the alumna during staff and board meetings. I worked under the supervision of an alumna at the museum for a week.
