Kimberly Drew @ museummammy Asks: "How Are You Articulating Yourself? How Do You Take Up Space?"

New York Magazine profiles art activist Kimberly Drew on a host of topics. Drew launched her career at The Studio Museum in Harlem before taking up professional residency at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she currently works as social-media manager. 

Drew founded her Tumblr,  Black Contemporary Art back in 2011, posting in and her Instagram under the name museummammy. Drew has also been honored as AIR Gallery’s inaugural Feminist Curator Award, as well as finding herself on “top” lists such as Yerba Buena Center for the Arts’ YBCA 100, and Brooklyn Magazine’s Brooklyn 100.

Dazed featured the 27-year-old in March, applauding her alongside luminaries like Solange, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, Slick Woods, Hans-Ulrich Obrist, and Kevin Ma, as members of the Mercedes-Benz #WeWonder Collective.  

Drew's Dazed interview is far richer than The Cut's. For starters:

“You want what you're doing to be comprehensive, and that comes with a level of incredible intense critical thought about how you're articulating yourself, how you're taking up space, and how other people are taking up space” – Kimberly Drew
