About Katie A. Pfohl

Major projects include Tiff Massey: 7 Mile + Livernois (2024), a solo exhibition for the Detroit-based metalsmith and sculptor; Mending the Sky (2020), which featured eleven artists responding to a world in distress; Bodies of Knowledge (2019), which invited artists to reflect on questions surrounding monuments and memory; Ear to the Ground (2019), which explored environmental activism in contemporary art; and Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories (2018), which focused on forgotten or marginalized histories of the city.
