Below is an academic paper for a course in the history of museums I completed in the fall of 2007 at Harvard University, Cambridge MA. It examines the failure of contemporary international festivalism to fully acknowledge and address the colonial ideology intrinsic to the museum’s mission.

I have five years experience working in museums, art libraries, as art an educator and organizer for a youth center in Africa, and most recently as a member of the board of directors for Mobius Artists’ Group in Boston, an award-winning, 30-year old performance art collective. I currently work for Harvard University at the Fine Arts Library in the Digital Resources department.
I am specifically interested in the way space is constructed and perceived; from an architectural point of view, but also from the point of view of artists working interdisciplinarily between architecture and sculpture: Do-Ho Suh’s three dimensional fabric maps of transparent private space; Marjetica Potrc’s neo-utopian architectural solutions and her collaborative Lost Highway Project; Lead Pencil Studio’s site-specific architectural drawings in three dimensions that are deeply rooted in local histories.
