May Makki

May Makki works as Associate Curator at Storefront for Art and Architecture. Her practice focuses on the infrastructural possibilities of exhibition-making and the communities, economies, and technologies that develop alongside works of art. At Storefront, she extends this inquiry to the structures and conditions that shape understandings of place and public life.

Prior to joining Storefront, Makki served as Co-Curator of the Third Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale (2026). From 2022–2025, she was part of the curatorial team in the Department of Media and Performance at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. She was the 2024–2025 Curatorial AIRspace resident at Abrons Arts Center, in partnership with Artists Alliance Inc., and has held research positions at MoMA PS1 and the Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University. She holds an MA from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College and a BA in Art History from the University of Chicago.
