Hong is the Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Toledo Museum of Art where she is responsible for broadening art historical narratives and shaping a dynamic collection and exhibitions program. At the TMA, she has organized the premiere of Stan Douglas’s major film installation Doppelgänger in a U.S. institution, Living Legacies: Art of the African American South, and Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg–Machine Auguries: Toledo, the artist’s first U.S. solo presentation. In the lead-up to the Museum’s historic reinstallation, Hong has acquired key works by Pacita Abad, Huguette Caland, Jeffrey Gibson, Kerry James Marshall, Ana Mendieta, Mickalene Thomas, Remedios Varo, the museum’s first digital artwork by Osinachi, among others. Additionally, she launched TMA’s digital artist residency and, in 2022, she was awarded Toledo’s 20 Under 40, which recognizes leaders in the community.
