Per(Sister)
Megan Flattley
As a Mellon fellow, I worked as a Curatorial Research Assistant on the exhibition Per(Sister): Incarcerated Women of Louisiana. To develop the exhibition.
The Newcomb Art Museum partnered with formerly incarcerated women, community organizations, and others directly impacted by the carceral system in order to shine a light on the myriad issues pertaining to women and incarceration in Louisiana.
I worked with museum staff and community partners to articulate the themes of the exhibition through original artworks, free and public programming, exhibition design that facilitated the active participation of visitors, and the printing of several publications as well as the website persister.info
