About

This project is the work of the students in the winter 2020 Histories of Photography class taught by Associate Professor Katie Hornstein. It was designed by Dylan Diloretto ’21 with assistance from Noah Mushkin ’21. It is typical of the creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration that the Hood Museum of Art values as part of the Dartmouth community.

During the winter of 2020, Professor Hornstein held her Histories of Photography course at the Hood Museum of Art. Meeting in the museum’s Bernstein Center for Object Study, students looked at original photographs during almost every session. They also worked with Hood staff to create an exhibition of vernacular photography. When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the museum’s practice, exhibition schedules had to be drastically reworked and the show was unable to be installed.

In the fall of 2020, Dylan Diloretto joined the Hood Museum as a senior intern. Over the course of the academic year, he reworked the physical exhibition into an online version. Conceptualizing the show as existing in two distinct, yet related, virtual spaces, he developed the design, eventually bringing in fellow student Noah Mushkin to do some of the technical work. Diloretto was also advised by John Bell, director of the Data Experiences and Visualizations Studio at Dartmouth.

Many thanks to the exhibition’s original student curators: Allison Carey ’20, Sarah Finlay ’20, Samuel Hernandez ’20, Thomas Knight ’22, Melanie Kos ’20, Anthony Lenkiewicz ’22, Gailin Pease, Abigail Schefer ’23, Sanne Schouten ’23, and Zhile Yu ’21. Thanks also to Kala Goyal, Wylie Kasai ’22, and Carson Levine ’21 for their assistance with exhibition’s new virtual home.
