“I decided to become a Museum Educator in the Brooklyn Museum because I believe there is no greater force than artistic & creative expression in bringing about personal and collective transformation, and I believe in the power of this Museum, in particular, as a vehicle for community dialogue and engagement.” —Adjoa Jones de Almeida

“I didn’t know what a curator was, but I knew that I loved cultural expression; I loved history; I loved people; I loved to be compelled and moved, by beauty or complexity or pure heart; and I loved creativity, whether in myself or others. I knew that I wanted to live my life surrounded by these things, and that I wanted to contribute to increasing their impact and frequency in the world. As a curator, this is what I get to do every day. To do it in Brooklyn, where I live, with and for people whose roots, like my family’s, span the globe? This is what inspires me.” — Rujeko Hockley
