The 2026 MODA Curates fellows, Summer Jimin Park and Katherine Duxiaole Zhang, will introduce their exhibitions and come together for an informal conversation about their curatorial projects and the ways in which they intersect and resonate. MODA Curates is an annual opportunity offered by the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery and the MA in Modern and Contemporary Art, Critical and Curatorial Studies Program (MODA) for outstanding curatorial proposals related to student theses.
Summer Jimin Park is a 2026 MODA Curates fellow and the curator of Skins, Not Our Own. Her research centers on feminist and psychoanalytic theories of subjectivity, with a focus on how postwar global artists reimagine the body and its boundaries. Summer holds a BA in Art History from Georgetown University and previously worked at Kukje Gallery in Seoul. Her writing on art has appeared in W Korea and Marie Claire Korea.
Katherine Duxiaole Zhang is a 2026 MODA Curates fellow and the curator of Mapping Otherwise. Her current thinking revolves around the political efficacy of sensorial objects, particularly their mediatory function upon consciousness.
