Sakina Namazi

Sakina Namazi graduated magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from Rutgers University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History, minor in English literature, and holds a certificate in Historic Preservation. Sakina is currently in her first year of the M.A. in Visual Arts Administration program at New York University.

She has interned at notable cultural institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and in the for-profit world Christie’s Auction. She currently interns at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Sakina is deeply interested in discovering how online publications, such as DISPATCH, help shape and create contemporary art practice[s] and theoretical art discourse between individuals around the world.
