Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University
I am thrilled by the Nasher's willingness and fearlessness to experiment and constantly rethink and push what it means to be a museum and develop exhibitions. I'm excited to join a team that's reflecting and looking forward and really thinking deeply about the historical impact of the work that it does in relationship to our sociocultural moment and our futures.

An exhibition like Behold should be “a place for mediation,” Campos-Pons says, between past and present, self and other. “I carry a lot of pain and anguish and lacerations from history—the past that I get to know and acknowledge—but also incredible amounts of joy and hope and trust that it’s so difficult, but the best days are ahead and should be built together.”
