I completed my first week as a curatorial intern at the Boston University School of Visual Arts on Friday, June 10. I will spend the next several weeks assisting Lynne Cooney, Exhibitions Director with creating promotional materials for the traveling exhibition "South Africa: Artists, Prints, Community/Twenty-Five Years at The Caversham Press," which was organized by Boston University and The Caversham Press in South Africa. The show opened at BU on February 8 and closed March 27, 2011. 

One of my first marketing tasks involved identifying prospective venues for the exhibit. On Thursday, I had the opportunity to sit in on a Skype call with Malcolm Christian, the founder of The Caversham Press and CEO of The Caversham Centre. The collaborative printmaking workshop was established in 1985 and has since evolved into an international printmaking residency and community arts program. The South African artist, William Kentridge produced some of his earliest prints at Caversham and is probably the centre's most well known participant.
