Arièle Dionne-Krosnick

Arièle Dionne-Krosnick is a notable figure in the field of contemporary architecture and design, having served as a Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art from 2016 to 2020. Her work is deeply engaged with the socio-political dimensions of architecture, focusing on how design intersects with issues of displacement and systemic racism. She played a key role in coordinating the Young Architects Program at MoMA/MoMA PS1 and contributed to significant exhibitions such as Insecurities: Tracing Displacement and Shelter (2016), Frank Lloyd Wright at 150: Unpacking the Archive (2017), and Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America (2021). This latter exhibition critically examined the impact of systemic racism on urban design in the U.S., showcasing how architecture can reflect and challenge social injustices. Currently pursuing her PhD in architecture at McGill University, Arièle continues to explore these critical themes, shaping discussions around the future of architectural practice and its role in society.
