Keidra Daniels Navaroli is an independent curator, thought leader, and McKnight Doctoral Fellow in the Texts and Technology PhD Program at the University of Central Florida. For over sixteen years, her work in arts management, scholarship, and curation, has focused on addressing how museums broadly (and the medium of textiles specifically) can be utilized to question cultural divisions, foster intergenerational dialogue, and enhance the understanding of traditionally-underrepresented communities of practice.
Keidra received her M.A. in art history from Florida State University; completed internships with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Sotheby’s Auction House in New York; and is an alumna of the Museum (Getty) Leadership Institute’s NextGen Program. Currently, she serves on the boards for the Mennello Museum of American Art, Association of Academic Museums and Galleries, and the Surface Design Association, as well as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee of the Textile Society of America.
