Daniella Rose King is a curator and writer concerned with artistic practices of the Caribbean and black diaspora with a particular emphasis on feminisms, the capitalocene and black geographic thought. She was recently appointed Adjunct Curator, Caribbean Diasporic Art, Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational. King was the 2017 – 2020 Whitney-Lauder Curatorial fellow at the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, where she curated two interrelated exhibition and publication projects: The Last Place They Thought Of (27 April – 12 August 2018), a group exhibition of works by Torkwase Dyson, Jade Montserrat, Lorraine O’Grady, and Keisha Scarville that investigated how geographical, ideological, and spatial paradigms determine and reproduce uneven social relations; and the solo exhibition Deborah Anzinger: An Unlikely Birth (26 April – 11 August 2019), a presentation of existing paintings and sculptures with a number of newly-commissioned works. The exhibition explored how Anzinger utilizes abstraction and speculative fiction to imagine new visual languages for describing place and the bodies that inhabit it.

She has held institutional positions at Nottingham Contemporary, Iniva in London, Cornerhouse (now HOME) in Manchester and MASS Alexandria.
