Working with Studio Joseph, this exhibition design advances a more relational reading of the Museum’s collections, one that resists the familiar sequencing of “civilizations,” periods, and canons.

By concentrating major collection areas on a single level, the design supports curatorial storytelling through contact, exchange, and contradiction. Visitors can move across geographies and chronologies without being disciplined by floors, thresholds, or presumed centers. The galleries are conceived as a scaffold for multiple narratives rather than a single authoritative route.
My role was to lead the exhibition design for the African, Asian, European, and Latin American Galleries.
