IN COLLABORATION WITH DARTMOUTH COLLEGE:
"The Making of 21st Century Exhibits: Curating a National Black Theater Museum/Institution"
Dr. Monica White Ndounou | Dartmouth College Department of Theater in collaboration with the African and African American Studies Program
"This class provided seventeen students an opportunity to learn about black theater history, scholarship and practice in the U.S. and abroad. In the process, students helped develop ideas and curated exhibits that represented a range of formats and platforms. As social media and academe become interdependent in the 21st-century digital era, the course enabled participants to imagine and implement exhibits for the museum as a digital and onsite space where national and international contributions to developing black theater can be shared with the larger public.
