Brooklyn Museum: A Crack in the Hourglass - Community Outreach Organizer

As Community Outreach Organizer for A Crack in the Hourglass—a participatory COVID-19 memorial by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer at the Brooklyn Museum—I led a culturally responsive engagement strategy to honor lives lost and foster collective healing.​

Recognizing the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on BIPOC and immigrant communities, I implemented multilingual outreach, translated exhibition materials into Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Russian, and geotargeted digital campaigns to reach diverse audiences. By integrating trauma-informed communication and community care principles, I nearly doubled submissions to the memorial archive and established best practices for inclusive engagement within the institution.​

This initiative exemplifies how thoughtful, equity-centered strategies can transform institutional spaces into sites of remembrance and resilience.
