Interns will be involved in a range of curatorial research projects. A key component of this internship will be conducting research and writing for objects and artists represented in the permanent collection, as well as administrative tasks to support the department’s curatorial library. Projects will also include deep research on mission specific-related exhibitions happening globally. The intern may also be completing administrative tasks for exhibition-related projects.

he Campbell-Wright HBCU Gullah Geechee Internship Program, hosted by Morehouse College, is a transformative initiative designed to preserve the rich cultural and historical legacy of the Gullah Geechee Corridor. Supported by a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation, this program provides HBCU students with immersive opportunities to engage in cultural preservation, historical interpretation, and storytelling. The purpose of this Summer Internship Program is to develop a pipeline of trained undergraduates to support cultural sites of memory throughout the Southeast, particularly within the Gullah Geechee Corridor of NC, SC, GA, and FL. During this internship, students will participate in cultural/historical preservation, environmental sustainability, and engage with texts, scholars, and Gullah Geechee culture-bearers to understand the history and policy around local land, economic, and educational justice issues and ways to impact those issues. Students will also be tasked with creating and studying poetry, theatre, music, film, and other visual arts having to do with the culture. As interns they will have a chance both in Atlanta and in the Gullah Geechee region to work on developing both physical and virtual exhibits and to become certified historical interpreters. It is hoped that not only will students make an impact in the targeted Gullah communities but that they will find pathways to careers in galleries, archives, libraries, museums, and at other higher education institutions as a result of the summer internship.
