Gabriella Shypula is a curator and PhD Candidate in Art History and Criticism at Stony Brook University. Her dissertation examines New York-based women artists and their relationship to autobiography in the 1970s–80s, revealing how their practices exemplify a broader feminist turn to developing shared historical narratives in the United States. She is currently a writer and editor of women artist biographies at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in support of the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative. Gabriella has contributed to curatorial projects at SFMOMA, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and MoMA. She recently co-curated "Revisiting 5+1" at the Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery, presented in partnership with the MFA Boston, and co-edited the accompanying catalogue. Gabriella holds a Graduate Certificate in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Stony Brook University, and her research has been supported by the Stony Brook University Alumni Association Doctoral Summer Fellowship, Kusama Research and Travel Awards, and Miriam and Maurice Goldberger Fellowship.
