I’m passionate about curating exhibitions that illuminate lesser known histories and make connections between disparate geographies. Here are some I’ve worked on:
Curator
“Boston’s Little Syria,” Emmanuel College, Boston, MA, November – December 2024.
“Boston’s Little Syria,” Grossmann Gallery at Healey Library, UMass Boston, Boston, MA, January – May 2024.
“Wandering Boston’s Little Syria,” Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, MA, April 2023.
“Ottoman Boston: Visualizing Little Syria,” Rotch Library of Architecture and Planning, MIT, Cambridge, MA, December 1, 2022 – March 31, 2023.
Researcher
“Arab Massachusetts: Building Community in the Commonwealth,” Pao Arts Center, Boston, November 19, 2025 – February 13, 2026. Then travels to Quincy, Lawrence, and Worcester through early 2027. Full schedule here.
