About

Between Tiohtià:ke / Montreal and Tkaranto / Toronto.

I hold a Master’s of Art History and Communications Studies from McGill University, supervised by Dr. Charmaine A. Nelson (SSHRC-funded).

My graduate research retrieved Black stories and textual portraits from various sources: the newspaper archives of Canadian fugitive slave advertisements, Canadian currency (Viola Desmond on the 10$ bill) and contemporary art (Wanted series by Camille Turner and Camal Pirbhai) through the lenses of reading against the grain, reparative aesthetics, and decolonial art historical methodologies. I am currently an independent Curator. My latest exhibition Transforming Grief: Loss and Togetherness in COVID-19 with Toronto History Museums is on at Fort York Visitor Centre until Jan 2024.
