Felicia Mings

Felicia Mings is a Curator at the Art Gallery of York University (AGYU). At the core of her work is a focus on the intersections of curatorial practice and community-based arts education, as well as interpreting and presenting modern and contemporary art of Africa and the African diaspora. Previously, Mings held the position of Academic Curator in the Department of Academic Engagement and Research at the Art Institute of Chicago, where she co-curated Malangatana: Mozambique Modern (2020) and The People Shall Govern! Medu Art Ensemble and the Anti-Apartheid Poster (2019) and co-edited the accompanying catalogues. She also provided leadership on several initiatives that fostered new approaches to training emerging museum professionals and artists and student engagement with the museum’s collection, including the Andrew W. Mellon Summer Academy and the Undergraduate Curatorial Fellowship Program. Born and raised in Canada, Mings earned her MA in Visual and Critical Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her Honors BA in Art and Art History from the University of Toronto and Sheridan College.
