Co-curator Lily Sweeney (she/her), the Joseph E. O’Donnell research intern for the summer of 2022, is a History major at Haverford College. Although she was the driving force behind the physical layout and interpretative text of the exhibit held in the White Gallery in the spring of 2023, all of her work was made infinitely better by the feedback and expertise provided by Adam Waterbear DePaul and by the partnership of Alex Rodriguez-Gomez.
Digital Exhibit Curator Alex Rodriguez-Gomez (he/they) is an Environmental Studies major at Haverford College. They worked in tandem with Adam Waterbear DePaul and Lily Sweeney to create a digital companion to the physical exhibit, developing the photo and video content seen on this website.
