In this new monthly series, Sibyls Shrine Founder and Interdisciplinary Artist, Alisha B Wormsley, will have conversations with folks in creative fields who are also navigating M/othering.  The second conversation is with curator Ryan N. Dennis on September 17th at 1pm.

Ryan N. Dennis is the newly appointed senior curator and director of public initiatives at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH). The Houston-born, San Antonio-raised, Dennis is a co-curator, with Jessica Bell Brown, of the traveling exhibition “A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration,” currently on view at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles. She arrives to the CAMH from the Mississippi Museum of Art’s Center for Art & Public Exchange, where she served as chief curator and artistic director for the past three years. From 2017 to 2020, she was curator and programs director at Houston’s Project Row Houses, after coming to that institution as curator and public art director in 2012. Dennis began her career at the Menil Collection in Houston, where she was a curatorial assistant from 2007 to 2009. She specializes in African American contemporary art, focusing on public art, site-specific projects/ interventions, community engagement, and institution building.
