Head Curator, I produce exhibitions and build networks for contemporary artists. My curatorial style centers academic research and community ensemble building, designing an exhibition through the techniques of stage and spatial design to tell a story. I produce exhibitions that enhance the storytelling of the Black Diaspora, global Indigenous communities, queer realities, histories, futures, and technologies; creating immersive, multi-sensory spaces for reflection and connection. My curatorial practice has been in collaborations across North America, including with Independent Curators International, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Indigenous Curatorial Collective, The New Museum, The Longwood Art Gallery, among others. My love for curation is rooted in my love for creating spaces where the audience can experience what is, what was, and what could be.
The usage of ensemble as a curatorial tool is central to Cheyenne Wyzzard-Jones’s curatorial practice. Developed by Wyzzard-Jones, ensemble is a distinct curatorial methodology that redefines how exhibition communities are formed, dismantling traditional hierarchical divisions between artists, curator, and audience.
