"After getting a dual master's degree from Yale and working at the museum there, Key Jo Lee went to the Cleveland Museum of Art. Now the chief of curatorial affairs and public programs at San Francisco's Museum of the African Diaspora (a job created for her), Lee has curated the group show Unbound: Art, Blackness, and the Universe, part of the second annual Black Art Week that marks the museum's 20th anniversary."
"The exhibit will include 17 artists organized in three categories: creation and the mythological; ecology and nature; and exploring technology with new media works. Lee calls it a celebration of the vast conceptual capacity of Blackness [that] treats Black existence with the same imaginative and intellectual openness we apply to thinking through metaphysics and the cosmos. // October 1-August 16, 2026; Museum of the African Diaspora, 685 Mission St. (Downtown), moadsf.org"

After 12 years as the curator of the Arizona State University Art Museum, he recently returned to making art full time in an SF studio. My America is his sixth show with Gallery Wendi Norris, and it includes some of his Gemelos (Twins) serieswatercolors of people squeezing into tight spaces to cross the border."
