As Ohio State undergrad Makayla Davis wrapped up her 2019-20 Public and University Programs internship, she created an innovative final project aimed at showing the successes and behind-the-scenes work of the programmers, producers, managers, educators, and staff members who made the year possible.
Through a series of interviews with staffers in Film/Video, Exhibitions, Performing Arts, and Education, she developed a whimsical digital zine aimed at exposing the hard work that staffers put into creating success within an arts institution. The project was conceptualized in an effort to recognize cross-departmental collaboration and showcase the extensive labor that goes into the exhibition and presentation of contemporary art to the public. Along the way, she realized the greater institution-wide goals and visions which the Wex actively works in service of and how her role as an intern contributes to the Wex community.
Check out her zine below.
