About

Hello! I’m a curator, writer, and art historian.

With Noam Parness, I’m the co-curator of Christian Walker: The Profane and the Poignant, a traveling exhibition that originated at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in 2023 and is now on view at Atlanta Contemporary through May 25. My exhibition As the World Burns: Queer Photography and Nightlife in Boston, organized in partnership with Laurel V. McLaughlin, was on view at Tufts University Art Galleries last spring.

My freelance essays have appeared in many outlets, including the New York Times, Boston Globe Magazine, The Baffler, Boston Review, Poetry, Los Angeles Review of Books, and throughout the art press. A regular contributor to academic journals and volumes, I am completing a book about global AIDS cultural activism.
