Royal Academy of Arts announces new Genesis Future Curators
29 October 2025
The Royal Academy of Arts has announced the next two curators joining the Genesis Future Curators Programme.
Chosen from over 750 applicants, Emily Pryke and Jada McMillian will begin 2-year full-time paid positions at the Royal Academy this week, with Emily working in the Exhibitions team and Jada in Collections.
Emily finished her Masters in Art, History and Museum curating earlier this year at the University of Sussex, having previously completed her BA at the University of London, and has since volunteered at the Towner Gallery in Eastbourne.
Jada has just completed an MA in History of Art at Birkbeck, University of London, following her BA in Humanities at Montclair State University, New Jersey, USA. Since being in the UK, she has volunteered at the National Portrait Gallery as an archive’s assistant.
The two new curators succeed Natasha Fyffe (Exhibitions) and Gabriel Jamroz (Collections), whose two-year training over the first iteration of the programme culminated in a small graduation ceremony, as part of a Genesis Conversation held at the Royal Academy of Arts in September.
Gabriel has now begun further studies on an MA in Principles of Conservation at University College London, while Natasha is travelling to Tokyo and hoping to get relevant work in the arts curation world there.
