BIOGRAPHY

Sam is a Philadelphia-based art historian, curator, and researcher with a decade of experience working in museums, higher education, and arts foundations. His notable curatorial credits include Waiting for Tear Gas (2022) and Photography and Memory (2019) at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. His scholarship has been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals in addition to interviews and essays geared towards a variety of audiences. Sam’s scholarship strives to communicate the role visual culture plays in the creation of liberatory knowledge. His research takes seriously the lessons of solidarity embedded in works of art, from their moments of production to their modes of distribution, circulation, and reception. These lessons show how visual practices can bind communities together in our intersecting fights for a better world free from all forms of oppression.
