Exhibitions and Curatorial Projects
I'm Sage, I'm a transdisciplinary artist who utilizes exhibitions and curatorial practice to uplift the voices of marginalized perspectives with care and empathy. My curatorial practice is led by a deep sense of justice, informed by my Latinx and queer identities. I believe multidisciplinary exhibitions have the power to impact incredible change within an individual's sense of self and a sense of empathetic responsibility to their communities. As an artist and educator, I enter exhibition projects with the intent of planning robust, complementary programs to encourage engagement and connection across generations and differing perspectives. Through my work, I hope to continue to humanize narratives entangled in complex political discourse while humanizing the stories of the artists and their subjects with dignity and respect.
Previously, I have developed public programs and arts curriculum for the Climate Museum in NYC, the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, and the exhibitions shown below. I've also been a guest lecturer for "Museums and Archives" and "Museums and Contemporary Art," graduate courses at NYU under the Museum Studies MA program.
The Faces Change: Immigrant Prejudice Remains, on view at the NYU Kimmel Window Gallery from May 2021 to October 2021.
The exhibition was to be on permanent display at the ACLU headquarters starting in 2023, however, it fell through due to circumstances beyond my control.
This exhibition was originally a grad school project, until the opportunity came to submit it for an exhibition at the NYU Kimmel Window gallery. This was the first exhibition on campus by candidates in the NYU Museum Studies MA program.

queer\ies: a survey and celebration of queer art and artists in the NYU Studio Art Program, on view at the NYU Steinhardt Rosenberg Gallery in October 2018.
As an introduction to curatorial practice, I proposed an exhibition for the galleries for the NYU Studio Art BFA Program to celebrate the works of queer artists and art representing queer themes. At the time, I had just learned about The Museum of Transgender Hirstory and Art (MOTHA) and wanted to take a crack at exhibition development from a curator’s perspective, as much of my exhibition experience up to that point stemmed from my multidisciplinary art practice
This project inspired me to pursue graduate studies in Museum Studies with a focus on Contemporary Art Exhibitions and Museum Politics.
