Early Photography and the Indian Ocean
I curated a commissioned exhibition and lead an international research and design team. Sourcing hidden treasures from obscure collections in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, we perused thousands of works of early photos, documents, and literature, and showcased never-before-exhibited artworks in an award-winning design. I negotiated loans, managed external and in-house web design, and lead a team that managed content for press, public programming and launch events.
