Emma Nuzzo is a curator and first-year student in Columbia’s MODA program. Her work centers social impact, exploring the symbiosis of cultural production and societal structures of marginalization, oppression and power.
In 2016 Emma received her B.A. from Williams College in Art History and Africana Studies. She served 4 years as the Programs and Partnerships manager at For Freedoms, using art as a political tool to engender civic dialogue and challenge simplistic and hegemonic thought at both artistic institutions and in the communities they serve. In 2020, she founded Cereus Art, an independent nomadic gallery offering business and financial advisory to artists under 30. She is the current Solomon B. Hayes fellow at Columbia University.
