These lines of study are augmented by Ray’s investment in Black feminist thought, formal and conceptual experimentation, and cross-diasporic community. Since graduating from Portland State University in 2018, they’ve supported  various institutions with exhibition writing, programming, and critical consultation. Ray made their curatorial debut in 2021 with the group show Nobody’s Fool, hosted by Carnation Contemporary. 

Ray’s essays, reviews, and research have appeared in/on Variable West, Cult Classic Magazine, the Studio Museum in Harlem’s website, in exhibition catalogs for King School Museum of Contemporary Art, and more. Beyond work, Ella is committed to being a sister and a friend.
