Elisabeth Sherman will become the chief curator and deputy director of the Museum of the City of New York. The museum is cherished by locals for its dynamic exhibitions that merge art and history. Its latest show features Jacob Riis's photography highlighting the historical issue of high rents. Sherman joins from the International Center of Photography and Whitney Museum, expressing excitement for the interdisciplinary focus on New York City as a subject and storyteller, embracing its diverse culture and history.
The Museum of the City of New York is unique in that it represents the rich tapestry of the city and helps its audiences engage in its future.
Curating for the Museum allows me to engage with the city itself as both subject and storyteller, focusing on its people and neighborhoods.
