    Sandra Jackson-Dumont is the director and CEO of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a new museum under construction in Los Angeles’s Exposition Park. Tasked with leading the institution through its opening and beyond, Jackson-Dumont came to the Lucas Museum from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she served as the Frederick P. and Sandra P. Rose Chairman of Education from 2014 to 2019. She also served for eight years as the deputy director for education and public programs and adjunct curator of modern and contemporary art at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM), and held positions at the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among other cultural organizations.

    Known for her ability to blur the lines between academia, popular culture, and non-traditional art-going communities, Jackson-Dumont is invested in curating experiences that foster dynamic exchanges between art/artists, past/present, public/private, and people/places. A native of San Francisco, Jackson-Dumont received her B.A. in art history from Sonoma State University in California and her M.A. in art history from Howard University in Washington, D.C.

    Adesegun (also known as SMADE) is recognised as one the most successful African entrepreneurs in the U.K. He has not only reintroduced Africans in the diaspora to their culture through music but has also quite literally taken Afrobeats to the world. With more than 30 sold out UK Afrobeats events Smade has contributed to the cultural movement of accepting the Afrobeats genre of music in the U.K; he has given a huge platform to numerous African artists through his concerts whilst opening them up to international labels. In 2019 he and his business partner put on the biggest Afrobeats festival that was Afronation, which was highly spoken about and landed him features with the BBC and FORBES.

    Across his career Smade has worked with a number of major acts from the early stages of their careers and firmly believes in supporting and developing the artists from their small beginnings. He has held sold out concerts and festivals in the best venues boasting audiences of over 20,000 people. Taking after his father who is also a successful business owner; Adesegun Adeosun Jnr is not holding back anytime soon as he continually aims ‘to bring the very best in African entertainment to the UK and the rest of the world.’
