In 2021, I co-curated a digital exhibition for Museo Salvatore Ferragamo titled ‘A Feminie Lexicon’. The exhibit was up on the Museum’s website from May 2022 - May 2023.

The project received wide publication, including the front page of Vanity Fair Italia

It was a rewarding project spent looking for and then working with eleven artists from around the world. Artists who tell their stories of what it means to consider themselves a feminine while belonging to different communities in different time zones.
I helped them share complex narratives about feminines who were queer, indigenous, Muslim, differently abled, navigating motherhood and traditional family structures, all while working as artists, sex workers, actors, and more.
I collaborated remotely with their galleries and managers, selecting artworks, and working together on contracts and filling out loan forms. Before writing the exhibit catalogue, website content, and designing its digital interface.
