Getting to guest curate Possible Worlds: 20 Years of the Wynn Newhouse Awards at the Syracuse University Art Museum has been one of the true honors of my career. Marking two decades of the Wynn Newhouse Awards, this exhibition brings together artists whose practices are as distinct as they are deeply resonant, work that expands how we think about representation, access, identity, and who gets to shape the field of contemporary art. Grateful to the artists: Beverly Baker, Derrick Alexis Coard, Courttney Cooper, Joseph Grigley, Em Kettner, Reverend Joyce McDonald, William Scott, Kambel Smith, Katz Tepper, Melvin Way, and Peter Williams. And to everyone at Syracuse who made this possible. @suartmuseum @wynnnewhouseawards @emdittman 🍊🍊🍊

This weekend marks the closing of Reclaiming History: Elections from the Tinwood Foundation, the inaugural exhibition in our new Rotating Exhibitions Gallery at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. Bringing together artists from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi, Reclaiming History traces a lineage rooted in the Civil Rights Movement and carried forward by a generation of Black Southern artists working in the 1980s and beyond. These works confront and witness, holding memory and resistance in their materials. Some speak with direct clarity, naming voter suppression, police violence, and enduring systems of injustice. Others move more quietly, embedding meaning in abstraction, texture, and symbol. Together, they remind us that art is not just reflection, it is strategy, survival, and truth-telling. If you haven’t seen it yet, this is your weekend. With deep thanks to Paul, Erin, and Jackson from the Tinwood Foundation for their partnership, trust, and vision in launching this gallery. @tinwoodfoundation @civilandhumanrights photos by @jacksonmarkovic

Just published: Minnie Evans: dreams, visions, and the uneasy beauty of the South. Evans’s drawings feel urgent right now, shaped by a region where beauty and violence grow from the same ground. New review up on Burnaway. Many thanks to @courtneylmcclellan @burnaway High Museum of Art, Atlanta.

Possible Worlds: 20 Years of the Wynn Newhouse Awards opens next Tuesday at the Syracuse University Art Museum, and I couldn’t be more proud to be part of it. For two decades, the Wynn Newhouse Award has been one of the most vital, and quietly radical, prizes in contemporary art, recognizing artists of extraordinary vision who also happen to live with disabilities. This exhibition doesn’t ask for a single story or theme. Instead, it opens space for many ways of working, moving, thinking, and making—expanding what the field can hold and who it makes room for. Huge thanks to Emily Dittman, Melissa A. Yuen, Dylan Otts, and the entire team at the Syracuse University Art Museum for their care, rigor, and generosity throughout this process. Featuring work by Beverly Baker, Derrick Alexis Coard, Courttney Cooper, Joseph Grigley, Em Kettner, Reverend Joyce McDonald, William Scott, Kambel Smith, Katz Tepper, Melvin Way, and Peter Williams. 📍 Joe and Emily Lowe Galleries 🗓 January 20 – May 9, 2026 This one means a lot. @suartmuseum @wynnnewhouseawards 🚀🚀🚀

Up now on Burnaway, I had the privilege of writing about Nancy Elizabeth Prophet. The piece looks at the exhibition I Will Not Bend an Inch at the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, as well as Prophet’s life in Atlanta. So many thanks to @burnaway @courtneylmcclellan @isamxrie @spelmanmuseum @thespelmanarchives

Being locked up in a cell for twenty-three hours a day could not stop JESSE KRIMES @jesse_krimes from making art. Krimes grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and had always created to make sense of the world. As a kid, it was escape. In prison, it was defiance. “When I lost everything, the only thing still there was the art — that’s when I realized I wasn’t a criminal. I was an artist. I always had been.” Go deeper in @upstate_diary issue 21, link in bio.

Really proud of this piece. Last month, I went on a mural tour through Houston with the legendary artist John T. Biggers as my guide. Up now is an essay co-published by Burnaway and Oxford American, where I trace Biggers’s legacy across the city—walls that speak of family, history, and Black life in vivid, monumental form. If you’re in Houston, go visit these incredible works at Christia V. Adair Park, Tom Bass Regional Park, Texas Southern University, the Blue Triangle Community Center, and the University of Houston–Downtown Academic Building. So many thanks to @courtneylmcclellan @burnaway @oxfordamerican and to @therabkinfoundation for travel support.

The new issue of Upstate Diary just landed in the mail! I had the privilege of writing about Teri Greeves—her art, her voice, her power. On newsstands and in finer mailboxes now. Also, the photography by Todd Macintire (@tmacintire ) is stunning. Huge thanks to @upstate_diary for having me.

Up now on Burnaway, I had the privilege of writing a profile on Tallahassee-based (but always Atlanta in our hearts) artist Jiha Moon. As part of the story, I was lucky enough to visit her old stomping grounds of Iowa University to see the mural she recently finished in collaboration with her husband (Andy), son (Ollie), and students from both Iowa and Florida State, stunningly beautiful Stanley Museum of Art. This work is the most ambitious syntheses of her painting and ceramic work to date. Check it out. Many thanks to @moonjiha @courtneylmcclellan @burnaway @uistanleymuseum @dktuite

Now up now on Burnaway, my review of the Hayward Ourbre: Structural Integrity exhibition at the Birmingham Museum of Art. It is a beautiful, brilliant show that is up for another few weeks in Alabama, before traveling to the Stanley Museum of Art, University of Iowa and then the New Orleans Museum of Art. Many thanks to @burnaway @isamxrie @courtneylmcclellan and the @bhammuseum

So happy to announce that I’ve begun as the new Director of Curation at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, here in Atlanta. After recently celebrating the Center’s 10-year anniversary, we will be under construction as part of a two-wing, nearly 29,000-square-foot expansion. On re-opening there will be a new immersive family gallery for kids under 12, a new gallery on the Reconstruction Era, updates to the permanent civil and human rights exhibits, a fully redesigned gallery to display the papers and artifacts of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (in partnership with Morehouse College), as well as a new temporary gallery for rotating exhibitions. Beyond excited to join the Center for this new chapter. @ctr4chr

Daniel Fuller and Brian Graf have been working together for many years; they’ve made two significant exhibitions and three books together. While their friendship began as an art-based working relationship, artist and curator, it has grown to a larger extent as a result of their mutual love of hockey. In this exercise in imagination, Daniel wrote an essay about, tangentially, his experience of the 1988 Stanley Cup Final, and Bryan created images taken during the last six seconds of the Final’s game four feed. This small gap of time in the footage provided a hallucinatory window into the camera, quickly trying to adjust to the mixture of flickering lights and fog before the arena went dark again.
