He has previously worked at various museums in the United States and abroad, including the Studio Museum in Harlem (New York), the Schwules Museum (Berlin), and HayArt Centre (Yerevan).

His research interests specialize in nineteenth and twentieth century American visual and material culture, with particular emphasis on photography, film, and memorials. More specifically, Savini’s writing explores the intersections of photography and material culture to understand how visuality and materiality shapes public memory.
