Kara Felt is the new curator of photography for the San Diego Museum of Art
Growing up in New York City, in a family that cared about art, meant a life filled with museums, books, and movies for Kara Felt. It made sense that she would go on to earn degrees in art from Yale and New York University, carving out a professional path as a curator, lecturer, and writer on the topic. “I had many formative experiences in cultural spaces, of leaving the museum, gallery, or theater looking at the world at a slightly different angle than before,” she says.
I then identify what is missing from the current conversation on a topic and try to articulate what new story can be told and why it is important. I’m always motivated by the question of relevance and how a particular subject bears on or potentially reframes critical issues today. From that big picture thinking, I shift to the concrete, thinking about how much and what kind of work would fit into a certain space to activate it and tell the story most effectively.
