What’s the story behind She Curates? How did it all begin?
She Curates began 5 days into the first lockdown. All my projects and exhibitions were suddenly - like much of the world - put on hold. It was a way for me to connect through Instagram and email, to curators and artists whom I admired and who caught my eye. I always say this - but it’s a testimony to the kindness of everyone to me during the pandemic.
Do you recall any particular standout moments that made you want to get involved in the art world?
Honestly not one moment, but a series of moments and a long queue of people. I grew up around so many inspiring women in the arts, particularly artists, who helped me make sense of what I wanted to help the art world become in my small way. I love that art can change the world, change opinions, emotions and points of view. I love how it can create dialogue.
If you could pick any two iconic pieces of art to display side by side at an exhibition, which would they be and why?
That’s a really interesting one. I love works that remind me of other works in an instant. For example, Faith Ringgold’s ‘Groovin’ High’ reminds me of Chelsea Wong’s party scenes.

Imagining there are no limitations, what would your dream curated exhibition look like?
I would love to curate a nomadic exhibition, perhaps literally out of a moving vessel that moves from place to place to inspire people. I would love to have a space for artists to take over entirely for a period of time, and create a living, breathing, house of art - I’m working on it!
We cannot wait to see what’s lined up for She Curates. Which projects can we start looking forward to?
2022 is looking - I hope - bright. I feel there’s an optimism in the air this year.
I have lots of projects coming up that will be announced soon. I have an exhibition opening in March: Reclaiming the Nymph; A Force of Nature, with the Gillian Jason Gallery in London. All exhibiting artists are incredible, and have come together in such an exciting way.
