I am a researcher, educator, curator and writer with over fifteen years of experience working across higher education, museums, heritage and cultural institutions.

I am currently Senior Curator and Head of Curatorial Affairs at Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) in Cape Town, where I co-convene the University of the Western Cape–Zeitz MOCAA Museum Fellowship Programme, lead curatorial, exhibition management, and collections teams, and oversee exhibitions, research, and public programmes focused on the art of Africa and its diasporas.

Alongside my museum role, I serve as Deputy Chairperson of the Africa South Arts Initiative (ASAI) and sit on the board of the District Six Museum. My recognitions include the University of the Witwatersrand Chancellor's Female Academic Leadership Fellowship (FALF, 2024), the Getty Foundation’s MAHASSA Fellowship (2019–2020), and the University of Cape Town ICA Curatorial Fellowship (2018). In 2022, I curated the exhibition Unsettled as a guest curator at the Dak’Art Biennale in Dakar, Senegal. I have also served on a range of local and international selection committees for art competitions, biennials, art fairs, fellowships, and residencies.

My writing has appeared across international platforms and publications, including Africasacountry and the Mail & Guardian, as well as in key compendia on critical arts discourse, including Routledge’s Companion to African Diaspora Art History. My research examines anti-colonial modes of representation in cultural institutions and the ways museums might enact forms of repair. I hold a PhD in Art Historical Studies, a Master’s in Visual Art, an Honours degree in Visual Studies, and a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, and I bring this transdisciplinary training to my curatorial and scholarly practice.
