I researched case studies of museums and galleries who have successfully integrated programming and exhibitions for visitors with all levels of sight.

Often times, people with visual impairments do not have the luxury of walking into a museum at any time instead, most programming for people who are blind or visually impaired occurs at limited times scheduled by the museum, or when arranged in advance by the visitor.

In addition to Collections Management work, I conducted research on the topic of how to improve the museum experience for people who are blind or have low vision. I also assisted with condition reporting for United States of Latin America, an exhibition hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. Camera of Wonders is a photography exhibition that opened along side the sixteenth Bienal de Fotographia. I also helped Devon complete condition reporting, beginning with an exhibition called Camera of Wonders that will travel to Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City. My first task was to organize the museum’s accession agreements, images, invoices, and certificates of authenticity. Kadist’s collection is made up of contemporary art mainly from California, Latin America, and Asia, with artworks of all mediums. I had the opportunity to assist with the adaptation of a new collections database and accession numbering system. My main projects related to collections management.

Kadist’s collections and productions reflect the global scope of contemporary art, and its programs develop collaborations with like-minded artists, curators and many art organizations around the world.”Īn example of Kadist’s innovative projects was called If There Ever Was: An Exhibition of Extinct and Impossible Smells in which guest curator Robert Blackson worked with fragrance designers to create an exhibition of smells that have impacted contemporary culture such as “the atomic blast at Hiroshima” and “the scent of communism.” Kadist’s mission is to “encourage the engagement of artists, often represented in its collection, with the important issues of today to promote their role as cultural agents.
