East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art (Curator)
East of the Pacific asks what changes when we understand the United States not only as west of the Atlantic, but as east of the Pacific. Bringing together works from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, the exhibition traces the artists, migrations, and histories that have long connected Asia and the United States — and reshaped American art in the process.Photo credit Glen Cheriton.

Dwelling: New Acquisitions (Co-curator)
Co-curated with Veronica Roberts, Dwelling brought together recent acquisitions that approach home as more than a physical place—as family tradition, difficult reality, or an inner world of the mind and body. The exhibition also considered how art itself can become a kind of dwelling place. Photo credit Glen Cheriton.
