Overview
Daniella Rose King is a curator and writer, currently based in Alexandria, Egypt. Originally from London, she is the Programmer and Associate Curator at MASS Alexandria, an independent study and studio programme for artists in Egypt. King read History of Art at the University of Manchester and received her MA in Curating Contemporary Art from the Royal College of Art in London. She is a researcher for Culture + Conflict and contributed to the publication The Right Dissonance (London, 2011). Between 2009-2011, King worked as Assistant Curator in Nottingham Contemporary’s Exhibitions and Public Programmes departments. King is concerned with the social history of art, particularly when it brings to light forgotten, oppressed or difficult histories, moments of struggle and spaces of resistance. Presently, she is focused on the effects of globalisation on cultural production, particularly in the MENA region, with a curiosity for new ideas and curatorial models that reflect upon these transformations.
