Formerly the exhibitions director at Brooklyn's Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, Brooks teamed up with New York's Gracie Mansion Conservancy in 2015 to curate a historically-minded art exhibition at the mayor's home. Currently, she is co-curating the 2016 edition of Jamaica Flux, a public art project from the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning that will bring site-specific work from 19 artists and collectives to unconventional locations along Jamaica Avenue in Queens.

Brooks is also collaborating with Hank Willis Thomas on the Philly Block Project, a year-long community-based photo project at the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center.
