Contemporary Muslim Fashions - Deyoung Museum Audio Tour
I spent two weeks in the Summer of 2018 working with the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco to produce BEYOND THE PAINT, a podcast that accompanies a major exhibition titiled Contemporary Muslim Fashions. The Museum’s Teen Advisory Board (TAB) researched, wrote, and recorded the podcast which explores the key themes of the exhibit and examines several key pieces from the show. It was the 2019 MUSE Gold Award Winner for Best Podcast from the American Alliance of Museums.
