Yanaminah Thullah: Storyteller

2026 Program Participant

Yanaminah Thullah is an award-winning curator, community builder, and researcher born and raised in Toronto, of Liberian and Sierra Leonean descent. Her practice approaches curation as knowledge production and relational practice, using storytelling, exhibitions, and cultural programming to explore belonging, underrepresented histories, and (dis)connection. With a background in International Studies and Modern Languages from the University of Ottawa, she is currently pursuing an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a Research Assistant at OCAD University. Her work explores migrant-diaspora relations within the Global Black context and centres marginalized voices through curatorial practice, research, and writing.
