Where: Zoom Webinar

Speakers participating in Learning From: Curating Paper will share their insights into The Paper Project’s initiative's aim of preserving the traditional expertise of print and drawing curators, while also encouraging innovative curatorial approaches and maintaining relevance in the graphic arts realm of the 21st century. They will discuss how the project responds to broader institutional shifts that sometimes overshadow subfields, especially historical areas of focus. They will explore the challenges faced by curators dedicated to advancing methodologies and promoting accessibility in their work.

This webinar is part of our three part summer series "Learning From", spotlighting three unique endeavors: Diversifying Curation and Conservation, ART_CC, and The Paper Project. Through three individual sessions, we will delve into the inception, evolution, and key takeaways from each project, offering valuable insights for museum professionals. From balancing expectations between institutions to fostering diversity in curation and conservation, and preserving traditional expertise while embracing innovation, this series will bring with it practical tips and tools to navigate complex projects successfully.
