Faculty News: Dr. Diana Murtaugh Coleman presented “Cultivating an Archive: Spoons, Cups, and Seeds,” a community workshop on archival collecting for Creative Flagstaff

Posted by Rebekah Pratt-Sturges on January 18, 2023

On November 19, Assistant Teaching Professor Dr. Diana Murtaugh Coleman presented the first of a three part series of workshops for community members at the Coconino Center for the Arts, “Cultivating an Archive: Spoons, Cups, and Seeds.” This workshop prepared participants to identify key family objects and photos for their digital archive. Dr. Coleman provided examples of how people speak through-and with-objects and photos, as grounding for the oral history and digital archive trainings that follow in sessions 2 and 3. Participants worked through a series of exercises and examples to learn to make curatorial decisions about what to highlight, as well as distinct approaches to organization and annotation.
