He is currently Assistant Professor in African Literature and Visual Cultures at Harvard University. He was recently a curatorial fellow at G.A.S. Foundation in Lagos, Nigeria. His recent curatorial project, Disrupted Dialogues was held at the Old Fire Station in Oxford, England, which explored the tensions and possibilities of collaboration and cultural exchange across time and geography through the figure of Dambudzo Marechera.
