Now the chief of curatorial affairs and public programs at San Francisco’s Museum of the African Diaspora (a job created for her), Lee has curated the group show Unbound: Art, Blackness, and the Universe, part of the second annual Black Art Week that marks the museum’s 20th anniversary. Naz Cuguoglu received a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to curate the show, which includes local artists like Oakland’s Sahar Khoury, who’s presenting a sculpture of a radio tower and another with a working DJ deck, and Maryan Yousif, born in Baghdad and living in San Francisco, whose sculpture of a large cassette tape is meant to honor Assyrian artist Juliana Jendo. The playwright, who studied at the University of Chicago and UC San Diego, has written a number of plays, including a work satire in which liquid oozes out of the walls in an office of cubicles and a reimagining of Madame Butterfly and Miss Saigon.
