James will occupy her position as the first full-time black curator in the museum’s history, showing their commitment to diversity and inclusion.

On November 14th, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum announced the appointment of Ashley James as Associate Curator, Contemporary Art. James’ work merges curatorial practice with an academic background rooted in African American studies, English literature, and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies.
