“Make a space for yourself.”
[/column]
[/row]
鈥淚 visit a lot of museums. I actually work at the High Museum. I am one of the Mellon Curatorial Fellows of 2018-2020.
I work with curators, design exhibitions, and do research. Anything that鈥檚 a public facing event.
This year, I鈥檓 working with photography curators and it鈥檚 wonderful because I鈥檝e taken photography here with Christina Washington and it鈥檚 become something I鈥檓 passionate about because it鈥檚 real-life documentation. Photos are things we all actively take, but they can be manipulated in so many ways to distort reality.
One thing I want to say to everyone: take literally every opportunity that comes to you. I really didn鈥檛 know if curatorial work was for me, but being at the High has let me see every department in action. Being there was such a new experience. So make a space for yourself and the second that it鈥檚 created, do everything you can within it.鈥�
