I am an art historian and curator based in London, currently a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow (2022–2025) in the Department of Art History and World Art Studies at the University of East Anglia. I write on modern and contemporary artists who inhabit multiple worlds as a result of colonial and postcolonial entanglements. This research has most often focused on the nexus between Africa and Europe. My books include Colonial Legacies: Contemporary Lens-Based Art and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Leuven University Press, 2021) and Inji Efflatoun and the Mexican Muralists: Imaging Women and Work between Egypt and Mexico (Sharjah Art Foundation, 2022).
After completing my PhD in History of Art at University College London, I was awarded Sharjah Art Foundation’s FOCAL POINT Publishing Grant 2020 and a Research Continuity Fellowship (2021) from the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. My publications are featured in Art History, Art Journal, African Arts, Burlington Contemporary, Oxford Art Journal, Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art and MoMA’s post: notes on art in a global context. My research has additionally been supported by awards from University College London, the Society for French Studies and the Association for Art History.
