ABOUT

Curating for the visual arts chose me when I found myself putting together an exhibition for some talented but internationally unknown artists from Libya in 2012 , spatially writing a visual narrative of their story and lived experience under dictatorship.

Now a decade plus later, I have over 24 successful international exhibitions under my belt, some solo and others collective, that have taken place in London, UK, Spain, Italy, Libya and Malta.

With each new project, I have learnt something new, but always each one reaffirms a love and passion for curating, as my mind is enriched, from concept to launch, to seeing how the public interacts. As a process, I have been involved with all stages, from the research to visualising the spatial choreography, to the logistics of budgeting marketing and production.

Above all I believe the hallmark of a good exhibition is when it resonates with a contemporary audience, such as when it highlights forgotten histories, explores collective memories or sheds light on silenced narratives, all through the universal language of the visual arts.

Curating independently so far has taught me resilience, focus, creative flexibility, and clarity. My curatorial journey has taken me to rich diverse artistic landscapes enhancing my personal cultural library and enabled me to seek more challenging narratives to navigate.
