BIO

An independent curator and art historian, Marian’s curatorial practice focuses on social engagement and building experimental approaches to historic narratives and spaces; she sees the potential in curating as an experimental mediator between contemporary art/artists and relevant histories, socio-political contexts, and communities. She is especially driven to curate projects promoting women and LGBT+ artists and stories. Marian co-founded SXRVXVE, an interdisciplinary curatorial platform dedicated to creating and presenting projects and artists engaging with systems of power. SXRVXVE has since curated four projects across the U.S. and the U.K., working with over 90 artists from across the globe.

Marian received an undergraduate degree in art history from the University of St Andrews and a graduate degree in curating from the Courtauld Institute. Marian has worked with curatorial teams at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Courtauld Gallery, The Royal Academy, and Times Square Arts, among others.
