Melina Sabeti-Mehr is an arts curator, public programmer, writer, and film photographer. Her research and work focuses on implementing sustainable community-centered models for programming, education, and curation in cultural institutions. Her interests often consider the transgenerational memory, stories, and archival practices of families, friendships, and racialized histories.
Melina graduated from the Master of Museum Studies program at the University of Toronto, where she concentrated on reframing art history and curatorial practices in opposition to historical and modern white supremacist frameworks. She also researched the development and implementation of accessible exhibition spaces and web interactions to reflect the diverse needs of gallery visitors.
Melina is currently a staff member for The Asian Canadian Living Archive and on the Advisory Committee for Peripheral Review. She is always happy to collaborate on projects.
