Hi Everyone! I'm a 4th year (ish) Museum Studies major, and Metals and Jewelry minor, and I'm so excited for thesis! I know for a fact that I want to go into curation as a career after grad school, so doing an exhibit for my thesis would be perfect for me. Regarding topics, I'm set on the idea of doing something regarding alternative black fashion (Afrofuturism or Afropunk?) and interviewing artists/musicians and showcasing clothing as parts in my final presentation. Thesis seems a bit daunting, but I know that this project will turn out great, and I'll learn so much on the way!

Hi Gabriella! I want to let you know your link is private, but Im sure your portfolio is amazing. Love your ideas! I would encourage you to reach out to Gabriella Smith who did an exhibition last year. She would probably have a lot of advice on how to manage the workflow!
ReplyDeleteGabi, I am enjoying our discussions about your research and trajectory. You might look at this site for some help in origin stories, and whether or not to combine AP and AF: https://eiu.libguides.com/afrofuturism. Keep going!
